The Carrot Project
down financial barriers, and building their path to sustainability.
We envision a resilient farm and food system, where successful farms and agricultural businesses are increasing in number and diversity, and are contributing to New England’s economic, environmental, and social well-being. We address the most important gaps at the intersections of financial security, economic justice, financial barriers to farmland access, and farmers’ ability to weather major disruptions. We do this as business advisors and through education, advocacy, and research.
