W.O.R.M.S Appreciation Day

O﻿ur events are ticketed with a solidarity pricing scheme. Those who can are encouraged to pay a little more, and those who can’t are encouraged to pay a discounted rate. The idea is that by paying on a sliding scale, we hope to foster more justice, equity and diversity in our food system and society.
