Pay once a year. Pick all season.
Sporeways recruits certified freelance foragers. The annual membership is the deductible side of the roster — your base wage, per-pound bonus, and the 40% split on every dispatched pick settle on top of it.
Forager membership
What this membership actually is
Foragers pay $25/year for a yearly roster slot. The fee is non-refundable, auto-renews each year, and cancels at the end of the current billing period if you cancel before then.
What the $25/year covers
- ID-verified forager roster slot for the current calendar year
- Annual species-ID quiz (per-jurisdiction renewals included)
- Base-wage agreement filing with Sporeways for the current year
- Instant-payout company card issuance for same-day pay
- Parcel map scoping keyed to your certified crew this season
This $25/year forager membership fee is separate from — and is not deducted from — the 20/40 harvest split paid on every dispatched pick. You pay the fee once per year for the roster slot, ID certification, payout instrument, and map scope; the per-pick split settles on top of the fee, not out of it.
Cancellation & refunds
The fee is non-refundable. You can cancel any time and coverage runs to the end of the paid-through period. Renewals can be turned off from your Stripe account if you do not want Sporeways to bill the following year.
