Folks Farm 2025 CSA
What is Community Supported Agriculture?
The CSA functions as a stakeholder loan to help our farm purchase supplies for the upcoming growing season like seeds, soil, insurance, and to provides capitol for labor. You help us by lifting the farm off the ground, we focus on growing crops, and then repay you through the season with fresh produce! To sweeten the deal we offer a 7% bonus on your dollar, acting as a form of interest. It is the backbone of our farm and we would love to have you join.
​
The Folks Farm Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program gains you access to 24 weeks of organically grown starter plants, vegetables, and herbs! We utilize a gift card system allowing you maximum flexibility through the season. Got a trip planned? No problem, use your card at any of our locations from Mid May-October. More info in the FAQs at the bottom of the page.​

Changes to the 2025 CSA
As we enter our 7th growing season, we have learned a great deal about producing vegetables, what we do best, where we struggle, and what our customers most enjoy. In order to continue to providing exceptional quality we have made an executive choice to focus on fewer crops this season. We have based our crop plan from sales records, crop losses, and where we find the most enjoyment. The crops we will continue to produce are listed below. While there is a chance we will subsidize the holes with off-farm produce, we want to keep expectations clear.
We have also decided to remove fruit (peaches, plums, cherries, ect) from being included in the CSA Share. CSA members will revieve a 10% discount on these and many other products in the Farm Stand, however members will have to use another form of payment when purchasing these products.
Finally, we will be using a form system to process CSA sales. When you click a "Buy Now" button below you will be directed to a seperate page and form. Simply fill out the form indicating your share size and we will email you an invoice. Once that invoice is paid you will recieve confirmation of your membership.

Frequently Asked Questions
​
Where can I use my share credits?
You can use you CSA card 5 days per week at our Farm Stand location or on Saturdays 9-1 at the Larimer County Farmers Market. Farm Stand hours are:
Wed-Fri: 10-6pm
Sat, Sun: 10-4pm
​
Will my credits roll over into the next seasons CSA?
No, your CSA credits end on the final day of the Main Season CSA. They do not roll over to the Winter CSA or the following Main Season. This is because we have successfully turned you investment into vegetables for the current season, not the next one.
How do I check my card balance?
You can check your remaining balance by using the QR code on the back of your gift card or asking a Folks Farmer at checkout.
What happens if bad weather wrecks our crops?
Weather events, like hail, happen and it can be a hard hit. Part of the reason we have chosen a CSA model for our farm is to protect ourselves in case of these disasters. As a CSA member you share the risk inherent with farming. If something does happen, know we will do everything in our power to continue to meet the needs of our CSA members. We offer no refunds given a natural disaster.
There are other products in the farm stand including fruit, meat, honey, eggs, bread, ect. Can I use my CSA credits to purchase these items?
Only the Super Share allows a purchase of all products. Single and Family shares can only use CSA credits on products marked for the CSA. Items not available with CSA credits will be marked for clarity. These items must be purchased through a separate transaction. Your CSA membership provides a 10% discount on those products through a separate transaction.
Can you add more $$ to you card if you zero out?
You can easily add more money to your gift card throughout the season.
What if I forget my card?
Simply leave a note with your full name, the words "CSA Member, and an itemized list of what you grabbed. We will take it from there.
What if the Farm Stand or Market doesn't have much produce left?
Generally, we recommend people showing up in the first couple hours of opening for prime picks.
