Dear Jenny,
We hope you have been enjoying the fall foliage as much as we have! It is quite a sight as we travel through the hills and valleys of western Massachusetts.
One important part of the PVGrows Investment Fund's mission is to preserve our beautiful open land by financing and strengthening our local farms. As such, we have experienced a recent uptick in the number of farms reaching out to us. Greg Bolduc and Harrison Bardwell are great examples of a younger generation taking up the mantle of farming. Chip Garbiel also came to us to repair his barns in order to "leave the farm in good shape for the next generation of farmers." (Read more about their farms below.) Working towards ensuring there is another generation of farmers is yet another important aspect of preserving open land.
By investing in local farms through PVGIF, you help support our shared natural resources -- protecting land, preserving habitat, building soil, growing and harvesting food, and improving our quality of life. Thank you again for being a part of it!
Best,
John Waite Rebecca Busansky
