2Forks Club

The 2Forks Club, a membership-based revolving loan fund that makes 0% loans to farmers and food entrepreneurs, has granted 57 loans since its inception in 2014. Many beginning farmers have used 2Forks loans to launch or scale their operations.

The 2Forks club strengthens the local food economy by making 0% interest loans to community farmers and food entrepreneurs. Loan recipients are chosen annually based on their potential to create the greatest positive impact, guided by a set of ethics established by the loan selection committee. Once loans are repaid, the funds are reinvested into the club for future loans, ensuring a sustainable cycle of support. Members, who join with a minimum donation of $250 dollars (or $150 for farmers, ranchers, teachers, and students), vote on which loans are awarded.

Lifetime Loans including this year $1,291,154

At our 2025 loan round we loaned $162,500 to 6 local farmers and local food entrepreneurs.
