FOODSHED CAPITAL

Training and technical assistance: the organization's consultation services are offered to all small/mid-scale farms and food enterprises in the region, even if they are not borrowing funds. The organization does this one-on-one and through group presentations, seminars, and workshops. For the workshops, the organization often partners with experts who have a particular expertise. Since farmers like to learn from other farmers, the organization strives to find experts who are either farmers themselves or understand the business of farming. For those that are borrowing funds, the organization stays in continual contact with the borrower, assisting them in any way possible to ensure the success of their business and the repayment of the loan.
