"I trust FI with my business. Prickly Pair Farm is stronger and more resilient because of FI's Advisory Services. Specifically, FI's work on our financials was enormously helpful. And, they also happen to be wonderful people to work with!" |

"Back to the Garden faced a need to scale up from a one-person farm operation to an enterprise that can sustainably provide a living for itself. Foodshed Investors offered us a loan to help us bring on a full-time farm operations manager and partner. We had a blue sky opportunity - Foodshed Investors gave us the runway to get airborne."

"Foodshed Investors (FI) team has offered tremendous help and support behind Bhoomi's successful capital raise. The FI team is sincere, always accessible and cares about companies making a positive impact on the planet and the communities. Bhoomi's first and foremost requirement while finding an investor partner was being mission aligned to support our growth plans and Foodshed Investors were among the few groups matching that criteria. They sat down with us and innovatively assessed the financial instruments which could fit based on goals and business needs with full 100% transparency that it would be our decision for what is best for our company. This was a completely new experience for us to work with an investor group asking our team what would work best for our company, and genuinely caring for our mission and shared prosperity. Jared and Evan were one call away to answer any questions during our capital raise and communicate with our investor base. Our recommendation to any purpose-driven company raising capital is to carefully vet their investors and try to find someone like FI, who would work as their partner/ally and can stand behind your mission. Most importantly don't be afraid to seek creative funding instruments that provide a win-win-win for your company, the investors and for your shared prosperity."

"The Foodshed Investors team fulfills a unique and much needed role in developing regional food economies. While understanding the bigger picture of agricultural systems, consumer trends and food policies, they are able to drill down to business principles and stay focused on solving how and where supply meets demand for any given product. I'm so grateful for their expertise and dedication!"

"I am a pretty good farmer, but I am a really bad business person. Foodshed Investors has helped me streamline my business and ask hard questions about what is profitable and what is not. I would highly recommend working with Foodshed Investors if you have a farm based business because they know exactly which questions to ask."
