The Carrot Project is a Boston-based organization dedicated to supporting agricultural businesses in securing their futures by breaking down financial barriers and building a path to sustainability. Through their programs, including 1-on-1 coaching, business assistance, loan programs, workshops, and training, they address important gaps in financial security, racial and economic justice, farmland access, and the ability of farmers to weather major disruptions. Their vision is to create a just and resilient farm and food system in New England that contributes to the region's economic, environmental, and social well-being.
The Carrot Project's research and programs have had a significant impact, including advocating for the Microloan program at FSA in 2011, which has been a game changer for young farmers. With a new Executive Director, Benneth Phelps, who brings extensive knowledge and experience in uplifting New England's farmers, The Carrot Project is poised to continue its mission of building a brighter agricultural future in the region.
