Friends of Family Farmer’s goals of the Capital Assistance for Local Farmers (CALF) Project were to bring together service providers and funders (both grant makers and traditional loan providers) to create a mutual understanding of the available technical assistance and resource offerings available in the state, to gather data on the true barriers to the success of the smallest producers in our agricultural system, and to develop some tools and recommendations to move this work forward in the immediate future. This CALF Project Final Report is the culmination of this two year project and FoFF is honored to present the findings of the group and opportunities for future research and technical assistance. The Community of Practice developed four recommendations as a jumping off point for further action. Read the full report to read about those recommendations and the rest of the findings!
