4. Reducing Your Shopping Habits’ Environmental Footprint
Buying local farm products at nākd isn’t just good for our agricultural economy– it’s also good for the environment. Locally grown and sold food, which the USDA defines as farm products grown and sold within a 400-mile radius, requires less energy for shipping and storage over its life-cycle.
5. Being Part of a Like-Minded Community
When you become part of the tribe, you immediately become part of a like-minded group that cares about sustainable agriculture and supporting local food systems, as well as a business philosophy that values more than the bottom line. We are part of an economic network that prioritizes the fair treatment of workers at every step of the supply chain, from laborers who toil in the fields, to line workers who wash and process the harvest, to the employees and volunteers of nākd.
6. Opportunities to Share and Absorb Knowledge
We offer relevant wellness and holistic workshops, such as un-cooking, craft and meditation classes. Seminars on aspects of food production and distribution, and educational film nights. As a member of the Tribe, you can apply at any time to teach a workshop or attend our workshops. Have an idea for a workshop? Feel free to contact us, let’s discuss it further.
How to Become a
Member of the nākd Tribe
It’s a straightforward affair. To start, you fill out a form with some basic contact information, such as your address, phone number, and email. At present, we do not have a subscription fee to join the Tribe.
You then specify which nākd Farm Box you will be purchasing and how you’ll be paying for your Farm Box share – at this time we accept cash, and bank deposit. Once you’re officially in the system, you immediately enjoy the benefits of membership.
