This initiative provides flexible financing and technical support to farmers and food entrepreneurs in the Pioneer Valley, helping them grow resilient, community-rooted businesses. Their Pioneer Valley Agriculture Investment Fund is a community investment fund which provides due diligence and financing. Local resident investors are drawn by the potential for a local and viable food system, creating a pool of 'social impact notes' returning 0-2% per annum, with loan amounts ranging from $1,000 to $250,000 for all types of local farm and food businesses.
