About Our CSA
HERbs + healthy medicinal foods + herbal wellness products & family medicine + plants/garden products + farm-crafted goods
Liferoot’s Shipped CSA (Community Supported Apothecary/Community Supported Agriculture) is an Austin/Texas Hill Country based herbal medicine & local farm goods share & education program.
This Shipped CSA is can be mailed to anywhere in the Continental US.
This option is different from our Local CSA, find more information on the Local CSA HERE.
While the local CSA will offer more healthy medicinal foods, fresh herbs and produce, the Shipped CSA will be more geared to botanical remedies and foods/herbs that can be safely shipped.
Liferoot’s Shipped CSA provides locally grown &/or respectfully harvested herbs in their peak season, healthy medicinal foods, herbal wellness products & family medicine, plants/garden products & farm-crafted goods.
The Liferoot CSA season runs from March-November, with 7 allotments per member per season.

Membership and Cost
PAY IN FULL OR USE A 3 MONTH PAYMENT PLAN
CSA Prices:
This CSA is based on a managed sliding scale ($333-$555)
This can be made in payments, or paid in one sum.
What is a sliding scale? It is a tool that allows a service or product to be obtained according to associated factors of the purchaser. This allows multiple price points according to your wealth and privilege.
A sliding scale payment is intended to make the program affordable while also covering some of the costs and labor of running the CSA and making the products. When deciding your position on the sliding scale please consider your income, family size, and your level of privilege around access to resources.
Liferoot’s aim for the CSA is to make it available to be enjoyed by everyone, aiming for a community that takes care of each other well. If you participate at what level works best for you and your family, then this in turn produces availability for more, and takes care of the maker and grower.
Here is some excellent verbiage from Little Bird Botanicals, explaining it well.
“Sliding scales are often based on individual income levels, with people of higher incomes paying more. However, many factors complicate and affect our financial status. Some groups of people have costs that the larger population does not. Others have access to resources that are not always reflected in their lifestyle choices and income levels. Please consider both your class background and earning power when choosing your share payment.”
We use a managed sliding scale, offering 3 options. Pick what feels right for you, and I trust that you will honestly access your relationship to income, privilege, class & fairness. I won’t come check in on you about it. 😉
SLIDING SCALE PRICING:
Each of the 7 shares retail value is at around $100 for each box. Choose one of the following options:
Lower income/wealth option- $333 for 7 full shares. This is $47 per box.
Market Price Option- $444 for 7 full shares. This is $63 per box.
Higher Income/Angel Option- $555 for 7 full shares. This is $79 per box. This option enables you to be an angel and pay for one person who can not afford to pay towards the shares.
Shares will be shipped to your home.
