Leslie Woodward was in a real pickle. She\u2019d temporarily closed <\/span>Edenesque,<\/span><\/a> her nearly decade-old self manufactured plant-based dairy company, to transition to a co-manufactured enterprise with a production partner, and urgently needed capital to scale up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Black woman and Le Cordon Bleu grad who cooked in prestigious restaurants, Woodward watched as peers in the industry obtained funding because they had a network to tap into. Individual investors dismissed her as not being ambitious or confident enough. She had no recent revenue figures to provide to a bank.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Woodward believes her color was a barrier to procuring capital. \u201cI think we just have a perception of what leadership looks like, or who can lead or build. That\u2019s a trope or image. If you don\u2019t match that image\u2026,\u201d she trails off.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then she successfully applied for financing from <\/span>Black Farmer Fund<\/span><\/a> (BFF), a nonprofit community investment fund that supports the Black agricultural community in the Northeast to close the racial wealth gap and build connections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks primarily to BFF, \u201cwe were able to create a brand and get our infrastructure set up and inventory and everything we needed,\u201d says Woodward.<\/span><\/p>\n

Filling a void<\/h2>\n

Since the 1920s, the percentage of Black farmers in the United States has declined precipitously from 14 percent to two percent. The <\/span>history of racism<\/span><\/a> throughout the agricultural industry is well-documented. Though the ruling of <\/span>Pigford vs Glickman<\/span><\/a> awarded nearly $2 billion to Black farmers, it\u2019s still difficult for beginning Black farmers to get a foothold in the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

BFF is one of a handful of organizations formed since 2020 to support BIPOC farmers and food businesses unable to obtain capital and other critical aid through conventional options, like a farm credit bureau or bank. Another is <\/span>Potlikker Capital<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>a social justice charitable fund supporting mainly rural BIPOC farmers across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Both are impact investing funds, which invest capital to generate returns and positive social or environmental impact. Like other investment funds, they raise capital through donations and the sale of notes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BFF seeks to deploy $40 million over 75 investments within 10 years. So far it has raised 68 percent towards that and invested in 16 farms and businesses including a distillery, a herbal education and medicine concern, and a brand of a West African sparkling beverage. Some are members of BFF\u2019s $1.1 million pilot fund, which was used to test, build, and inform the organization\u2019s process for centering the needs of farmers and investing in <\/span>a more reparative structure of capital<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Potlikker aims to work with 300 businesses, including distributors, processors, and producers. lt also partners with farmers who are not of color, but who are in relationship to the community, and underwrites two agriculture entities: Jubilee Justice and <\/span>Food System 6<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The funds employ a holistic approach using integrated capital, technical assistance, and networking, recognizing that growth support requires more than just money, particularly in BIPOC communities. Technical assistance can range from helping a farmer set up Quick Books to introductions to a soil remediation expert or a State Department of Agriculture contact.<\/span> Chosen <\/span>farmers and businesses must follow climate-smart practices and give back to their communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this non-extractive, restorative model, integrated capital can be zero or low interest loans, grants and recoverable grants, equity, or near equity. Decision making is <\/span>community-led by BIPOC members of food and agricultural spaces, including farmers or those who work at nonprofits, in food systems, education, and business, including some of whom have received support from the organizations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Strands of support<\/h2>\n

Support takes many forms. For one, BFF and Potlikker establish culturally appropriate relationships and do not charge a fee for their services.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BFF also offers community engagement and networking through community work days and skill shares on topics like how to be loan ready. Funding comes from rapid response or community garden pools or as a portfolio business, a large scale investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes, when trusted with people\u2019s emotions or mental health challenges, \u201cjust being able to be there and help folks navigate through challenging transitions,\u201d is what\u2019s required, says BFF co-founder Olivia Watkins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Edenesque became a portfolio business of BFF last year. While most investees receive between a quarter and half a million dollars, the company received $1.25 million in a grant and a loan. With the funding, Edenesque relaunched in October 2024. Its nut and oat milks are sold in over 200 stores in the Northeast, including Whole Foods; that number will double by April. Now that she\u2019s virtually rebuilt her company from scratch, Woodward plans to use BFF\u2019s technical assistance offerings, like learning to use social media for brand promotion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since 2021, Potlikker has provided resources to<\/span> 57 farmers in 24 states. By May, co-founder Mark Watson expects that number to grow to 65.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ozell White, a Mississippi cattle and watermelon farmer, participated in Jubilee Justice\u2019s rice growing project. He served as Chair of Potlikker\u2019s Board and received a $12,000 grant for fencing and a mechanical weeder after meeting Watson on a cross-country RV trip to visit farmers. Better equipped to control weeds and practice sustainable farming, White now doesn\u2019t need pricey chemical inputs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With eight other farmers throughout Mississippi, White is also participating in one of Potlikker\u2019s \u201ccommunities of practice,\u201d groups organized so farmers can share knowledge and trade business opportunities. They\u2019re learning accounting, tax preparation, and business planning from Potlikker staff, its Board and Resource Council members, and experts contracted by Potlikker.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe beauty of Potlikker,\u201d says White, \u201cis that they can start with the farmer, and walk with that farmer from where they are and stay with them until they get where they need to go.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Changing the landscape<\/h2>\n

These efforts to effect systemic change have gained greater significance with the recent dissolution of many DEI efforts across industries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Watson and Watkins believe that fundraising will continue apace because of the substantial interest in having strong local food systems and support from mission-aligned donors. \u201cI think it\u2019s just the context in which we\u2019re all working is going to shift,\u201d Watkins says. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Organizations like Potlikker and BFF are needed to help the money flow fair, says Watson. \u201cI don\u2019t know how we\u2019re going to handle it, but we\u2019re going to keep doing what we\u2019re doing,\u201d he asserts, \u201cserving communities that we feel like have not ever had real access or might be getting diminished access to resources.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
