California FarmLink

California FarmLink invests in the prosperity and well-being of farmers, ranchers, and fishers who have limited access to financial resources. Our programs center communities of color, and promote just and resilient economies and natural resource conservation. As a Community Development Financial Institution, we offer fair financing, business education, and support for owning or managing agricultural land.

Funding purpose: Continue deploying integrated, low-interest capital and technical assistance to farmers, ranchers and fishers in rural and low-income communities.
