2025 Summer
CSA Shares
Available Now!
What is
a CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a direct, food-share partnership between you and the farmer. It entails purchasing an entire season’s worth of vegetables at the beginning of the year. Purchasing a CSA share gives the customer consistent access to vegetables at a discounted price while also bringing the farmer an income at an important time of the year when cash-flow is low but they are ordering seeds, building infrastructure, and improving tools and production practices.
How does our CSA work?
Well Fed Farmstead offers a free-choice CSA program. Unlike traditional CSA models that provide a weekly box of vegetables determined for you, the free-choice CSA allows you to pick whatever items you’d like, however many you’d like, whenever you’d like them. If you miss a week or are out of town, no problem. If you don’t want kale seven weeks in a row or you don’t know how to cook kohlrabi, that’s fine!
​
Simply put...
You pre-purchase your veggies in what we call a "share" ----> We put that money onto a Farm E-Gift Card ----> You use the card to buy what you want, when you want at our farm stand or the farmers market ----> We deduct it from the card.

FAQs:
Do you work with SNAP?
-
Yes, we accept SNAP/EBT benefits to purchase your CSA Share, but we can only do small shares...
-
If you are interested in using your EBT card to purchase a share please email us at wellfedfarmstead@gmail.com and include "SNAP CSA Share" in the subject line.​​
-
Why is there a processing fee?
-
As is the norm for modern businesses, we all have credit card processing fees. But the CSA is unique. Not only do we have normal card processing fees, we have gift card loading fees (an additional 3%). We also do quite a bit of back end office work to keep things smooth and organized for all our families. We use the small 3% processing fees to cover a small portion of our added costs. Thanks for understanding.
​
​How do I know how much money is on my card?
-
The easiest way is to go to this website. You can also ask the farmers market crew at the time of purchase.
​
What happens if I run out of CSA Money?
-
No worries! You can add money to your CSA account whenever you run out and you'll continue to receive the same sign-up bonus. Simply talk to one of our crew members at a Friday or Saturday Market and they will help you out.
​
Can my CSA card roll over to next year?
-
Short answer, no. Any leftover funds after October 25th will be unavailable for use. Think of the CSA like a gym membership. You have it for a specific amount of time and the more you use it, the more you get out of it.
​
What if the farm is affected by a natural disaster?
-
A CSA program revolves around the concept of sharing the risk and rewards of local agriculture. Because we are located in Northern Colorado, we are prone to hail, extreme drought, and severe temperature shifts. Although we do our best to protect ourselves from these natural conditions (we grow a portion of our produce in greenhouses, we source water from natural precipitation, wells and ditches, and we have several strategies to keep our produce warm in the winter), we are not invincible. Thus, we include a "Hand of God" clause in our CSA that, if disaster should strike, our members would share the burden. If our harvest is dramatically reduced or we are unable to come to market we will deduct the amount of an average market week from everyone's Farm Cards until harvest resumes. Most years this will not occur (in Farmer Ryan's 10 year career, it has never happened), but by purchasing a share, you're helping us focus on what we do best instead of fretting about the next tragedy. You are assisting us in running a sustainable business and we can't thank you enough.
​
I like the Traditional Box CSA Model, is that an option?
-
For the past three years we have offered a traditional CSA box model for our Winter Share. We will likely do so again! Sign up when the time comes around.

​
​Lastly, we are a participating farm with the Vegetable Connection.
The Vegetable Connection works as a liaison between low-income families that financially cannot afford a CSA share and a sustainably locally grown farm that produces the CSA share; giving families the access to become members of Well Fed Farmstead or other local Fort Collins Farms.
For the past three years, The Vegetable Connection has provided over 30 families a share from our farm with donations from the Fort Collins community. And that's only our farm! Several other local farms are involved as well, and many more families were fed. This program is so neat, not only providing local and nutritious food to those who want and need it, but also paying us farmers a full price for the goods we are providing.
We want to give you an opportunity to support the Vegetable Connection (and through them, further support us). Whatever you can afford would be a welcome gift that goes straight to this program, allowing more families to share in the bounty.
Here's a link that guides you straight to their donation page. If you'd like to know more, click here to read up on the Vegetable Connection and everything they do for our community.
