What if the future of farming didn’t rely on traditional farm finance? In a world where financial markets are increasingly unpredictable, creativity in agriculture is more essential than ever. This week, we invited Quint Pottinger, Owner of Affinity Farms, to share how meeting a movie producer got him connected to hedge funds in NYC… that eventually led to a business deal to grow his farming operation. Not exactly traditional! We also discuss: 🤔How the current farm financial system supports wealth transfer vs. innovation 💰Why keeping community benefits at the center of business makes economic sense 🌟How to get in opportunity’s way, again and again and again

This quarter, I focused on raising capital, applying for $500,000 in grants to support our strategic plans and set the foundation for the next three years of transformative growth. While raising capital was a key objective, it became a natural by-product of our deeper commitment to the 4 C’s: Community, Capacity, Capability, and Capital. These pillars guide everything we do at Farms by Amber, LLC, ensuring that our work adds value not only to our farm but also to the people and communities we serve. As the CEO of Farms by Amber, LLC, I take pride in setting the strategy and leading with intention. Growth requires stepping outside of comfort zones, and I’m not afraid to venture out and develop the skills needed to move our vision forward. This quarter’s focus has been about more than funding; it’s about building the foundation to grow both the products and services our farm offers and expanding our reach to serve local, national, and international markets. Looking ahead, our strategic focus for the next three years includes: 1. Strengthening community through partnerships with organizations that align with our values and objectives. 2. Expanding capacity through infrastructure improvements and operational growth. 3. Enhancing capability with training, education, and innovative practices. 4. Raising capital to sustain and scale our vision. This journey isn’t just about growing a farm; it’s about creating an ecosystem that nurtures collaboration, innovation, and meaningful impact. Frankly, I'm growing me! To those who share a vision for sustainable growth and purpose-driven work—whether locally or globally—I’d love to connect and explore how we can grow together. #StrategicGrowth #FarmExpansion #CEOLeadership #CollaborationWithPurpose #CapitalAcquisition #GrowingWithPurpose #CommunityPartnerships #4CsApproach
Check out this article in the The Portland Press Herald, written by JEI alum Janice St. Onge (she/her), on why the mission to create healthy food and preserve working lands and workplaces is pivotal. Janice is president of the Flexible Capital Fund—a mission investment fund providing risk capital to growing businesses in the food system, forestry and clean technology sectors in New England—to provide capital and a collective voice to food system and climate-focused businesses that “strive to grow sustainably and bring long-term quality jobs to our region.” "Maine’s food and climate-focused entrepreneurs are heroes, taking financial risks to produce the food we eat, create sustainable jobs and reduce our carbon footprint...It’s essential to support these small business owners who not only drive local economies but enrich our communities in countless ways. We all have a role to play in this work... Every dollar, every purchase, and every investment makes a difference if we want a vibrant and opportunity-filled future for our children, their children and the generations beyond." https://lnkd.in/gZSYxZAx
