Black Farmer Fund

Black Farmer Fund, Inc. (BFF) is a non-profit community investment fund that invests in black farmers and food businesses in New York. Our team is focused on connecting investment capital and technical assistance with mission-aligned organizations, regenerative agriculture projects, and community initiatives in traditionally underserved communities. Beyond investing we create opportunities for relationship and community building to further strengthen our reparative work in the food system.

BFF makes direct investments across a variety of tranches of the capital stack (Debt and Grant), utilizing a variety of financing structures to support a wide array of solutions. BFF is unique in its ability to infuse capital into black farms and food businesses that deliver value to communities and customers that generate positive outcomes for economic justice, ecological impact, and community wellbeing. 

At BFF, we are working to create alternative economic realities that redistribute wealth, democratizes power, and shifts economic control to black farming and food communities in order to increase food sovereignty.
