Founding cycle
Take a share in the founding cycle.
You choose a share and a pickup site; we plant for it. Your card is saved today; your first payment is taken when your first harvest week begins, and covers four weekly harvests from that day.
Four harvests per charge. Billed every 28 days, so about 13 charges a year rather than 12.
Founding pricing holds. Priority by order received, and the price stays yours for as long as you do.
Cancel any time. Online, by email, or by phone — and cancelling before a charge stops it.
Grow what feeds you. Learn what sustains you. Share what multiplies life.

Your Root Life membership renews automatically. Your card is saved today and your first payment of {{ cycleText }} is taken on {{ firstHarvestText }}, when your first harvest week begins. You will then be charged {{ cycleText }} every 28 days until you cancel. Each payment covers four weekly harvests. Billing every 28 days normally results in 13 charges during a 52-week year, not 12 monthly payments. Cancel through your member account, by emailing admin@rootlife.ag, or by calling 860-751-2634.

Where you collect
Three pickup sites. No home delivery.
Every share is collected in person. Pickup keeps the food cheaper, the cold chain shorter, and puts neighbors in the same room once a week — which is most of the point.

What happens after you join
A soft launch means we are honest about what is finished and what is still growing.
STAGE 01 — SEED
We confirm your site
Your membership confirmation arrives straight away, followed within three business days by your pickup code and what to bring. The receipt follows on your first payment date.
STAGE 02 — ROOT
We plant to your share
Seeding is planned against real memberships, not guesses. That is how a small farm avoids waste in its first season.
STAGE 03 — HARVEST
Week one, {{ launchWindow }}
Your first harvest goes out with crop stories, storage guidance, and recipes. Your next charge follows 28 days after that first payment.
Not today. We save your card when you join, and take the first payment on your first harvest day — {{ firstHarvestText }} — covering four weekly harvests. Billing then repeats every 28 days until you cancel.
Do you bring it to my house?
Not this season. Every share is collected in person at one of our three pickup sites. We would rather run three sites well than a route we cannot keep.
Can the launch date move?
It can. Living crops set the pace. If week one shifts, your first payment shifts with it — no one is charged before their first collection — and everyone on the list hears it from us before they hear it anywhere else.
What do the emails contain?
Planting-stage notes: what is seeded, what flushed, what is coming to the box. Roughly two a month. Unsubscribe in one click.
