About Black Farmer Fund
Black Farmer Fund (BFF) was created by Black farmers who were frustrated with the limited financing options available to them, and created a funding vehicle that would challenge the racial injustices and wealth inequalities faced by Black food actors. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit community investment fund that invests patient (flexible repayment terms), integrated capital (mix of low-interest loans and grants) among Black food systems entrepreneurs in the Northeast.
BFF is by us, for us, with a community of Black farmers and food systems entrepreneurs from across the region leading the fund’s governance and decision-making around which applicants receive funding. Our process is consensus-seeking and guided by our values of economic justice, community wealth building, and managing environmental/ecological impact. We are currently in the process of making direct investments in Black food actors while emphasizing financial education, investment literacy, and active community involvement in creating these financing options.
