Guidestone CSA Farm Distribution Center

The Distribution Center at Guidestone CSA Garden and Farm and Center for Sustainable Living - the first officially permitted strawbale construction in Larimer County, Colorado. It serves as the distribution center for all the Farm's produce and value added products, some available to members on a subscription basis, others as retail purchases. The Distro is open only on Saturdays for retail sales as well as other scheduled times for members of the Farm. It is a post and beam frame with bale infill. It features an Earth Cooled Pantry, kitchen, washroom, wood fired brick oven, solar heated greenhouse with a Subterranean Heating and Cooling System (SHCS) and wetland greywater treatment.
