PVGrows Investment Fund

PVGrows Investment Fund Strengthening Our Food System PVGIF is a program of the Franklin County Community Development Corporation.

The Pioneer Valley Grows Investment Fund (PVGIF) is a community investment fund that provides catalytic financing and business assistance to farms and local food business to grow a healthy local food system. PVGIF grew out of the PVGrows network, which hosted working groups and networking forums (circa 2008 to 2016) open to anyone working to build a healthy Pioneer Valley Food System. Individuals

from hundreds of organizations, agencies, and initiatives participated in PVGrows forums and working groups.
