Unconventional partnerships often bring about the best ideas, and this rings true with a collaboration formed between WeWork and Freight Farms, in which members of the coworking space are able to receive fresh and locally grown produce.

This partnership follows the announcement that WeWork is making moves in the agricultural space, as the brand announced the WeWork Food Labs at the beginning of 2019.

In this particular partnership with Freight Farms, WeWork is aligning its brand with conscious consumerism and sustainability, allowing its members to subscribe to a weekly delivery of fresh greens delivered to WeWork locations.

The subscription program is available for $12.50 weekly, or $50 monthly, effectively bridging accessible food, with convenience and affordability

 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

+ How long is the program?

Each session is 6 months (24 weeks) long. The program starts the week of July 8th through the week of December 16th. You’ll be setup to auto-renew and we’ll be sure to remind you with plenty of time if you’d prefer to cancel instead.

+ How does pick-up work?

For WeWork offices we’ll be delivering shares on Tuesday afternoons after harvesting that same morning. Shares will be delivered between 2 - 4 pm close to your community manager’s desk.

+ What if I’m out during pick-up?

Since we deliver only once a week, we will not be able to defer pick up on an individual basis (we will find alternate days and notify you if pick-up conflicts with a holiday). If there’s no way around picking up your share, we recommend gifting it to someone in your office.

+ How does payment work?

The cost for the full subscription is due upon sign-up. At $50/month, the full subscription cost is $300.

+ How frequently will I be charged?

Your subscription will automatically renew at 24 weeks unless you decide to cancel. If you don’t cancel in time, we will have already planted your shares of the greens and we won’t be able to retroactively cancel your subscription or issue a refund.

+ How does cancellation work?

All of the program dates are scheduled around the farm’s growing schedule. As an early adopter, you will have the option to cancel within the first month (July 8 - August 2) for a $250 refund and you would still receive shares through those four weeks. After August 2nd, there is no cancellation allowed. However, you would be able to transfer the remainder of your subscription to someone else at a WeWork office.

+ How do I provide input?

After your first month, we’ll begin soliciting periodic feedback to influence what we grow in the WeWork farm. You will see the direct impact roughly 2 months after providing feedback since that is the typical time it takes to grow new crops.

+ How can I get in contact with Freight Farms about my share?

For any and all questions, simply email weworkgrown@freightfarms.com and the WeWork designated member of our Grown Ops team will provide you with an answer.

+ How often will you be emailing me directly?

We will be reaching out… Once a week, to remind you about pick up and share recipes. Once a month, with reminders to collect feedback. As needed, if there’s any change to the pick up schedule. Towards the end of your subscription, with information about auto-renewal and the cancellation window. And ASAP, in response to any of your emails!
