What is 2Forks?

FUEL LOCAL FARMS. FOREVER.

Since 2014, 2Forks Club members have put over $1.29 million directly into local farms and food businesses—with 0% interest loans that keep recycling back into the community.

With regenerative philanthropy, your membership grows a
self-replenishing ecosystem: when loans are repaid, the funds are reinvested, supporting even more farmers and projects. Past recipients have expanded greenhouses, built wash-and-pack facilities, bought refrigerated trucks, and even acquired electric motorcycles for rotational grazing.

More members = more farms, more impact, more change.
Join the 2Forks Club and be part of a movement that keeps giving, again and again.

Your Year as a 2Forks Member

PAY ONCE. GIVE FOREVER.

Your 2Forks club membership funds local farmers and local food entrepreneurs with 0% interest loans.
It’s regenerative philanthropy. Memberships start at $150/year.

End of October — Applications Open

Farmers submit their loan applications, sharing the projects they hope to bring to life.

November- December — Review in Progress

The selection committee (which you can be a part of) reviews the loan requests and proposals from local growers.

January — Meet the Loan Applicants

You hear directly from the farmers and food businesses about their proposed projects and what these loans would make possible at a farm to table dinner with members and presenting farmers.

Finally — You Vote, Farmers Win

Members review each project’s impact on the local food system and work together to select the recipients.

The club strengthens the local food economy by empowering individuals in the Roaring Fork and North Fork valleys to grow, produce, and distribute food that nourishes the community and the land.

Members actively participate in loan selection decisions, ensuring that support aligns with shared values and community needs. This democratic approach fosters a sense of ownership and collective responsibility.

With a nearly perfect repayment rate  and inspiring success stories, 2 Forks Club demonstrates that community-based lending can be both impactful and sustainable.

By investing in practices that restore soil health and mitigate climate change, donors contribute to a more resilient and equitable food system.

The definition of “farm” has expanded. Yes, we’ve supported farms—but also mills, bakers, fermenters, and others feeding their communities in creative, rooted ways. At the end of the day, we need farmers. And farmers—however they show up—need to be believed in.
