Host Michael Shuman sits down with Ryan Anderson of Steward, an Oregon-based community lending platform that provides non-extractive, revenue-aligned loans to small and mid-sized farms and food businesses. Individual lenders can participate with as little as $100, including through Steward’s pooled fund, which currently offers about 6.5% on a 9-month note. Says Anderson: “We like to say it’s sort of focused on people, the planet, and the palate.”
