Foodshed Capital is a nonprofit loan fund, not a bank. Our mission is to serve farmers like you who care about the land and your communities, and to ensure you have the capital, financial partnership, and resources you need to thrive.

Affordable Capital

Traditional banks rarely understand small farms and food businesses. We offer some of the lowest interest rates in the country, including 0% for many low-income borrowers, without extractive practices like credit scores, fees, and personal collateral.

Business Advising

Getting a loan takes preparation. We guide you through every step – at no cost – to help you understand how much your business can realistically borrow, what a sustainable repayment plan looks like, and what kind of systems might help you stay organized going forward.

Long-Term Support

Our relationship doesn’t stop with one loan. Farmers who work with us often stay connected for years, returning for growth capital as their business grows or to keep their financial data organized at a price they can afford. We’re ready to grow with you.

Rooted In Regeneration

We work only with farmers who are committed to regenerative practices, because when you care for the soil, you care for everyone. Supporting your farm means healthier land, stronger communities, and a more just food system. When you succeed, the whole foodshed benefits.
