From regenerative farmers to local grocers and brewers, the Fair Finance Fund is closing capital gaps for small-scale food and farm businesses in Ontario.“Our favorite part of the work is understanding the real problems our clients face – cash flow, operations – and making sure they can actually thrive,” says Justin Abbiss on the latest Community Capital Live. Abbiss knows the challenges firsthand. Running a food hub in Hamilton, Ontario during the pandemic, he applied for financing from the fund. That client experience was what convinced him of the fund’s value and ultimately led him to join its leadership.
