How Much Does It Cost To Host?

Contact us for pricing. Fees are modest and flexible. We sometimes offer reduced or waived rates for grassroots projects with little or no budgets. We value the time and skills of our Just Food trainers, so we pay stipends for the City Farms Community Workshops that they lead.
