Cost Structure: Making Regenerative Learning Accessible

At Orion Farmstead, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to engage with permaculture and regenerative design. To improve accessibility, we’ve designed a cost structure based on honesty and a sliding scale.

Sliding Scale: $300–$550

We encourage participants to contribute within this range based on their financial ability. This approach allows those with greater resources to support the program while making it more accessible for others.

Why a Sliding Scale?

A sliding scale helps create a more inclusive environment where participants from diverse financial backgrounds can join and contribute. By choosing an amount that feels right for your situation, you help sustain this project and make future events possible.

Work-Trade Scholarships - CLOSED!! But if you are interested in volunteering, please drop us a line 406-880-8996

We are offering up to two work-trade scholarships for individuals who may not be able to afford the cost but are eager to participate.

  • Scholarship recipients will contribute 20 hours of their time toward assisting us implement the plan. The 20 hours can be earned over the course of 2 months max. We will work with you to create a plan that works for us and for you.
  • To apply, please click here to complete an interest form.
How to Choose Your Contribution?

When registering, simply select the amount that feels right for you within the $300–$550 range. Your honesty and generosity directly support our efforts to foster regenerative practices and create an inspiring community at Orion Farmstead.

If you have questions about the cost structure or scholarships, please don’t hesitate to contact us via phone or email.
