The Cooperative
Own a piece of plantAge farm
PlantAge is a cooperative farm, a solidarity agricultural movement...
where every veggie box, every share, and every member plays a role in reshaping the food system.
When you join our CSA Yearly Harvest and cooperative, we invite you to also become a member of our cooperative.
As a cooperative member, you’re not just a customer. You’re a co-owner. This way our farm will also be YOUR farm. We share the costs, responsibilities and harvest. The true purpose of a community-supported agriculture.
By becoming a member of our CSA cooperative, you’re helping build a food system that’s fair, ecological, and community-driven. Your contribution enables us to pay fair wages, grow healthy food, and take care of the soil and the people who work it.
Why We’re a Cooperative
We believe real change happens within the communities.
As a cooperative, we are:
- Independent and self-financed
- Rooted in solidarity, not profit
- Built for long-term resilience—not short-term gains
Your membership in our cooperative ensures that our values—ethical farming, food sovereignty, and ecological integrity—are protected and owned by the people, not outside investors. It’s how we stay future-focused and crisis-proof.
One member, one vote. You can get involved, share your voice, and contribute to decisions – whether at general assemblies or in working groups.
How It Works
Join the co-op with a one-time share of €150 (or a multiple thereof)
Pay a yearly contribution of €25 to support basic operations (admin, assemblies, member communication)
Sign up for a CSA Yearly Harvest contract (our veggie box subscription) after the 6-week trial
What Your Share Supports
Your cooperative share is an investment in the future. We use it to secure land, build up infrastructure, and make the farm resilient and independent. Step by step, we’re creating a community-supported agriculture that nourishes people and the planet.
Your investment goes directly into:
- Buying and securing land for ecological use in the long-term
- Seeds, soil, and sustainable systems
- Building a community farm aligned with biocyclic-vegan principles
- Tools and infrastructure (like greenhouses, irrigation systems and delivery vehicles)
- Creates planning stability
- Support a farm system that offers fair working conditions - independent of the pressures of the market
- Delivers fresh, seasonal produce to your pick up locations
Am I Liable?
As a member of the cooperative, you are NOT personally liable with your private assets. There is no obligation to make additional payments beyond your initial share. In the unlikely event of financial losses or while we are still in the development phase, the value of your share might be adjusted—for example, from €150 to €120. However, you can never lose more than you originally invested.
Do I Have to Work in the Fields?
Only if you want to. Some members love getting their hands dirty, others support quietly.
Harvest Contract vs. Cooperative Membership
These are two separate agreements:
1) Harvest Contract – for your veggie boxes (€109/month, 6-week trial, then annual commitment)
2) Cooperative Membership – for co-ownership and investment (€150+ one-time share + €25/year)
