Investment Opportunities

The public’s growing interest in local food production and concern over global energy dependencies mean that a regionally focused agricultural network consisting of a variety of farms is possible. Presently, however, agriculture is barely reflected in socially responsible investing, which grew to $2.71 trillion in 2008, according to the Social Investment Forum.

If you, or an organization you represent, would like to invest in enterprises that foster your values and support of local sustainable agriculture, healthful foods, and land conservation, please consider working with The Carrot Project. Your investments will finance limited resource farmers and help guarantee sustainable agriculture for years to come.

For more information contact dsuput(at)thecarrotproject.org or 617-666-9637.

The Carrot Project's E-newsletter is sent out 3-4 times per year. If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter, please send a message with your name, town/city, state, and if you are a farmer to subscribe@thecarrotproject.org.

Thank you.

The Carrot Project is among the first vehicles utilizing investment dollars from social investors and putting them to work to help rebuild a sustainable food system. The Carrot Project is employing a community investment model to address the financing needs of small- and mid-size sustainable farmers in the northeast U.S.
