VISION
Significantly increase the number of successful small farm and ag businesses resulting in a meaningful increase in the local production of food in the Northeast. We help to launch small farm and ag businesses and support their growth towards profitability, a crucial factor to business viability.
We want the farms and businesses that we work with today to be here in 5, 10, and 50 years from now. Their success is the foundation of a strong local food economy.

MISSION
Foster a sustainable and diverse food system by supporting ecologically- and financially-sustainable small and midsize farms and food processors by expanding financing available to them and increasing their ability to use it.
We work towards this goal, of helping to build the farm and food system, by addressing the most important gaps in financing and business management services that prevent small and midsized farms and food processors from economic viability and expansion.
