Most mornings at 6:31, a post lands in your inbox.

This is number 214 since January. All free to read. No ads. No paywall.

Over the past few months, a number of you have asked how you could pay for it. Several of you didn't wait for an answer and sent a tip instead.

Thank you. Truly.

So now there's a proper way to do it.

## Two ways to support it

**Reader.** $5 a month, or $50 a year. Less than a dollar a week.

**Supporter.** $15 a month, or $150 a year. Under $3 a week.

Both get the occasional note from behind the scenes: what I'm working on, what didn't make it into a post, what's coming.

Supporters can also have their name on the supporters page, if they want it there, and get a say in what gets looked into next.

## What doesn't change

Everything stays free to read. Nothing goes behind a paywall, and paying is what keeps it that way.

The 6:31am email keeps arriving whether you pay or not. If you've been reading it for a while, you already know more about malt and rennet than most people would ever choose to.

## How to do it

If you're already signed up, [choose Reader or Supporter here](https://www.organicfoodtogether.nz/#/portal/signup).

If you'd rather give once and be done, the [tip jar](https://www.organicfoodtogether.nz/#/portal/support) still works.

You can also [gift a membership](https://www.organicfoodtogether.nz/#/portal/gift) to someone who'd enjoy it.

And if none of that is for you, that's fine. Keep reading. Forward the email to someone who'd get something out of it. That helps too.

See you at 6:31am.
