What Farm 49 does

Farm49 is a privately held, female-farmer-founded regenerative farm and animal sanctuary operating from a single site at 7180 N 49th St in Longmont, Colorado. Founded in 2017/2018 by Nadia Artman and Colter Hoyt, the company cultivates Colorado's largest sea buckthorn orchard using regenerative agriculture methods — including crop rotation, cover cropping, composting, agroforestry, rotational grazing, and biodiversity promotion — while also operating the Colorado Farm Animal Sanctuary, which rescues animals from neglect, abuse, or abandonment. The business sells sea buckthorn-derived food and wellness products (juice in 12oz and 24oz formats, dried berries, and fruit roll-ups), alongside a Farm Stand, gift cards, and recipe content.

The company monetizes through five revenue streams: direct-to-consumer e-commerce (Colorado pickup only plus $15.99 delivery within 20 miles), a three-tier annual membership program (Sprout $50, Harvest $90, Cultivator $150) that bundles farm access, produce boxes, and event perks, ticketed farm experiences (tours and Walk With Emus), seasonal community events (Farm to Table Dinners, A Musical Harvest, Earth Day), and donations supporting the sanctuary and regenerative mission. Go-to-market is hybrid: product-led growth through the Squarespace-hosted Farm Shop, community-led engagement through the volunteer program and FARMily membership ecosystem, and event-driven demand generation.

Customer segments are predominantly local — health-conscious consumers seeking nutrient-dense super berries, families and community members interested in regenerative farming experiences, animal welfare advocates, and a small B2B channel (Restaurant Salt and Chef Paolo Neville) sourcing produce for farm-to-table menus. Distribution is intentionally constrained to a Colorado pickup model with limited local delivery, and there is no evidence of national shipping, wholesale partnerships, or institutional investment. The company employs between 1 and 10 people, operates with no disclosed funding rounds, and is led by its two co-founders with operational support from volunteers.
