Congratulations to Apple Creek Farm, the latest recipient in BCDI’s Neighbors Investing In Neighbors Loan/Investment Program! This loan, funded directly by individual BCDI members who serve as “investors”, was fulfilled in just four days — record time! To say our members our community-minded is truly an understatement! Jake and Abby of Apple Creek Farm will pay back this low-interest loan over the next 36 months, and will use the funds to support the growth of their farm, including infrastructure investments and the purchase of larger equipment.

Today, we signed the loan documents and disbursed the check and although we had to forgo the usual handshake, it was delightful to have Teensy the lamb on hand to serve as another witness! 🐑
