Whether direct-to-consumer or within premium wholesale, NorthEast consumer demand for better local real-food is constant and growing. Because many NorthEast farms lack capital to develop farm and market scale, supply of better product and raw materials is often scarce, erratic and difficult to attain. The Entrepreneur Agrarian Fund (EAF) empowers an under-capitalized real-food movement through investing in farmers, innovation and expert partners to build profitable farm enterprises that benefit many stakeholders. EAF ‘SmartFarms’ are established through collectively deciphering how to allocate resources based on topography, natural resources, plot size, market demographics, innovation and distribution.
Strategic partners & SmartFarms will utilize:

Fertile soils will be a must, so too will be the ability to engage with reputable partners specific to a craft or skill that will help educate and monitor progress and end results.

Pooled resources and knowledge, Strategic Partners, Blue-Chip farm talent and Information Clearinghouse will all play key roles in advancing the local real-food movement.
Transparency & Traceability:
More consumers have intrigue in where their food is coming from – some search for better understanding of the sustenance that fuels them, some want to know farming practice and animal treatment, and others care to know more about the craftsmanship used in creating products they consume. This boils down to many affording less blind-faith in our food supply, where greater chapters of consumers from broader healthier lifestyles are paying more for food provenance. By infusing validity to each naturally grown product, each animal, the EAF will empower technology to provide immediate knowledge-share (i.e. QR codes offering food traceability and farming transparency) available at all points of sale – through any consumer handheld. Technology’s capacity to harness the voice of the expert, and magnifying that presence, has proven an ideal way to connect consumers to the products they purchase. Transparency from farm-to-table, backed by granular food traceability, is a an opportunity for real-food producers who have great stories to tell.
