Working with farms and food businesses to plan, fund, and bring big projects to life.
CAPITAL PLANNING
Whether investing in a purpose-built facility or launching a major initiative, the best made decisions blend team values, risk tolerance, and shared goals with well-informed financial analysis. Through capital planning, we help teams make these decisions thoughtfully and efficiently – listening carefully, facilitating deep discussion, and building practical financial models to get at the right questions quickly and develop an actionable capital plan that meets your unique needs.
FUNDING
Ambitious food projects often require creative financing. Over the last decade we have worked with owners, operators, private investors, and public funders to structure and capitalize high impact projects from multiple sources. Assembling these sources and seeing a great project come together is a highlight of our work. Between grants, equity, debt, alternative financing, we find a funding mix that supports your goals and values – making sense of the creative financing process so you can focus on running your business.
IMPLEMENTATION
When it comes time to bring a big plan to life, we provide steady, hands-on support through key stages — including acquisition, financing, development, and sale. With our friends at Midcourse Design, we can organize master planning, design, permitting strategy, and pre-construction services. When ready, we can develop a game plan for financial management and reporting, and select and onboard professional services (finance, legal, tax, and accounting) to support next stages of operations and growth.
