Mace Chasm Farm’s tree nursery upgrades with ANCA and Foodshed Capital funds<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

KEESEVILLE |<\/strong> A flexible loan program designed to support North Country small farms is helping Mace Chasm Farm diversify and increase its offerings. The Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA), in partnership with Foodshed Capital, awarded the Keeseville farm a $14,000 zero-interest loan to help expand its tree nursery operations.<\/p>\n

The investment marks the sixth small farm project supported by the SOIL Loan Fund, which ANCA developed to address the challenges many North Country farms have accessing capital through conventional loan programs \u2014 particularly for farms operated by women and Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC).<\/p>\n

\u201cMace Chasm Farm\u2019s project is a great example of how we intend for the SOIL Loan program to work,\u201d said Jon Ignatowski, ANCA\u2019s Manager of Food Systems Business. \u201cMace Chasm used their loan to leverage grant funding, resulting in a transformational project for the Adirondack farm community. We are excited to support their efforts to bolster the agroforestry movement in our region.\u201d<\/p>\n
