Welcome to Farm to Folk
Farm to Folk (F2F) connects farmers using sustainable methods of agriculture with greaterOur mission is to build strong, cooperative relationships between and among producers and consumers to provide a fair income for local producers while meeting the food needs of local consumers. We also seek to educate the surrounding community about farm and food issues.
What We Offer
Various vegetable, herb, fruit, dairy, and meat products are available
as CSA shares or a la carte (single items). CSA stands for Community Supported or Shared Agriculture. It
strives to establish
economically viable, ecologically sound, and socially just
relationships in the
process of food production. In CSA, members share risks with the
producers by paying for a share prior to the start
of the growing season. In return, members receive a
box of fresh, usually organic produce throughout the season.
Indirectly, however, members also increase their awareness and
education about the food system; improve their health by consuming
fresh, healthy, nutritious produce; and develop stronger ties to their communities. CSA shares consist of
predetermined types and amounts of in-season items that are delivered
to a site in Ames on a weekly basis.
If you are an adventurous eater who likes to be creative, CSA shares are for you.
If you like more control over what you buy, a la carte is for you. The a la carte offerings will be posted on our website each week and an email sent to members to remind them when it is time to order.
