Farmers To You

Farmers To You

farmers-t-you-logoFarmers To You has created a partnership between Vermont area farmers and Boston area families who are committed to rebuilding a trustworthy and sustainable regional food system. Through weekly deliveries of fresh vegetables, fruit, dairy, meat, grains and more, Farmers To You offers a bridge between dedicated farmers and the needs of busy families. Safe, nutrient dense food is packed personally to order and conveniently delivered year round to community members at their homes, schools or workplaces. Farmers To You handles marketing, aggregation, and customer service so that farmers can focus on what they do best—growing quality food using sustainable, organic methods. Farmers To You arranges pick-up, delivery and payment so that families can focus on what they need most — time to share healthy, local, quality food with each other.

The Flex Fund’s investment was used to support expansion and relocation to a new, larger hub facility, purchase additional equipment, add key staff, and streamline the website and ordering system. Additionally, Farmers To You was able to leverage Flex Fund funding to secure additional royalty financing from key Boston-area investors who bring not only their financial support, but access to their networks and connections.

Founder and Owner:

“We are very happy to have found a partner in the Flexible Capital Fund. Seeking outside funding was a delicate process as our business model doesn’t fit well with a traditional debt or equity funding. The Flex Fund’s unique structure works for growing food businesses like ours that are concerned with the triple bottom line of profits, people, and the planet. Partnering with the Flex Fund allows us to build our infrastructure at a key time. With these investments, we will better serve our partners, Vermont farmers and families in the Boston area, and continue to strengthen our local food system. By becoming a funder, the Flex Fund is showing their commitment to supporting new and innovative models that place Vermont at the forefront of a national push toward local, sustainable, and trustworthy food.”
