If you can afford to your monthly membership fee helps keep Larder>East running and supports access for others.
In return, you shop at cost price - sourcing direct from producers like:
Four Leaf Farm
Bailies Coffee
Suma Cooperative
Bakari Bakery
Bethany Fruit Market
Opening hours are the same for all members, so you might sometimes have to wait a while for your turn to shop but we believe it's not a queue - it's a conversation opportunity, and you'll likely be fed as you chat.
You can choose what you pay based on what you can afford - no means test, just an invitation to pause and reflect.
Privilege rarely recognises itself, so we hope this approach feels both challenging and encouraging. It's a small check-in on how we share resources, and a step toward a food system where fairness isn't an afterthought.
Here's a quick self-check to help you decide what you might give each month - a DIY "check your privilege" guide.
This isn't about guilt, just awareness - and a thoughtful way to share resources.
We all live complex lives, so pick the amount that feels right for you.
Modest income, low to mid-range rent.
Comfortable, with some savings.
Financially secure, luxuries affordable.
For those able & willing to contribute in deep solidarity.
You're welcome to drop in during our opening hours to get a feel for the place. When you're ready, simply click the monthly amount you'd like to give. Once your direct debit is set up, you'll be directed to a short form so we can get to know you better.
