The future of food in our state depends on a strong agricultural industry. Our hope is to make it possible for hard-working people to create a thriving farming business for themselves, their families, and all of Colorado.

Get financing for your ag business through our revolving loan fund.
The cost of starting or operating a farm can be an impossible hurdle to overcome, keeping many people out of the business who have the skills, experience, and drive, but not the up-front capital that it takes. The CAFL program makes securing financing more accessible for more people. Apply today and be first in line to receive funds as they become available.
Many of us don’t fit the profile that conventional lenders use to make their decisions. And conventional lenders don’t have the flexibility to work with individual situations. We do. We believe it’s vital to bring diversity to Colorado’s agriculture industry and we want to invite people in by making ag more accessible and financially inclusive — even if you’ve been turned down by other banks before.
The CAFL Program is for real people looking to grow a real business. Here’s how the CAFL Program is different:
01
We envision future farmers who are diverse, innovative, and who create more food security in Colorado.
02
We believe being able to pay back a loan depends on more than finances. We ask, is it an innovative idea? Do you work hard? Can we see your potential? And other unconventional questions.
03
We want farming in Colorado to be more inclusive. No matter your background or current situation, you have equal opportunity.
04
We partner with local organizations to provide not only financing, but education and guidance too.
