Potlikker Capital

Overview

Potlikker Capital is a charitable loan fund dedicated to supporting socially and economically disadvantaged agricultural producers and processors across the United States. Their mission is to provide resources and relationships that enable those who feed communities, care for the land, and build local economies to lead and succeed. They apply an integrated capital model, combining flexible loans, catalytic grants, technical assistance, and other tailored resources to help strengthen local food systems and foster lasting change. Their approach is rooted in trust, relationship, and community stewardship. The fund focuses on providing reparative funding designed to repair historic harms such as land dispossession, discriminatory lending practices, and exclusion from mainstream financial systems. By working at individual, community, and system levels, Potlikker Capital aims to move capital in ways that are reparative, relational, and focused on long-term strength. Their work operates across three levels to positively impact agriculture and food systems: individual, community, and systems. Potlikker Capital partners with producers and processors across the entire food system—from farmers and ranchers to fishers, processors, distributors, and retailers. They provide flexible, relationship-based financing tailored to the unique needs of producers and processors, supporting land access, operational stability, and long-term planning. Their capital solutions include low-interest loans, grants, and equity-like investments, all structured with accountability and partnership in mind. By supporting regenerative practices and strengthening the full food value chain, they are working toward a healthier, more inclusive food system for everyone.
