Milkweed Tussock Tubers operates on a sliding scale adjusted to the financial capacity of the organization or individual hosting us. While we seek a balance between compensation for our time and your needs, fee diversity breaks down financial barriers and allows us to serve a wide range of parties. Honorariums from financially wealthier operations, such as universities, provides us with the resources to offer low or no-cost programs to underfunded groups and oppressed communities. We appreciate your support in all forms and are willing to negotiate based on need. We are also willing to barter and trade goods and services, particularly if you are financially stressed.
Please recognize that if you are asking us to travel, or speak over the course of numerous days, we may request additional funds for travel, housing and food. We do provide online and over the phone services as needed, and pricing can be negotiated in such situations.
Please contact us to inquire about fees for your event.
