The Carrot Project
supports agricultural businesses securing their futures by breaking
down financial barriers, and building their path to sustainability.
We envision a just and resilient farm and food system, where successful farms and agricultural businesses are increasing in number and racial 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, racial and 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.
Our site is under construction and we are working out any kinks. Thank you for your patience!

Farming is hard work. It is also gratifying work. It is not always financially rewarding work, but with due diligence to financial planning and wise capitalization, a small, diversified farm can succeed. The Carrot Project helped our farm with needed investments in infrastructure so that we could meet our income goals.
