Mission FarmRaise's vision is that of "vital farming communities." Our work supports farming communities that are socially equitable, economically profitable and ecologically resilient. To contribute towards this vision, we deliver user-friendly digital tools for farmers to master their farm finances.
Description Farming isn’t for the faint of heart.
Growing up on a small Angus beef cattle farm in Virginia, Jayce experienced how tough it is to grow her farm business. Millions of small and mid-sized farmers lack tools and time to optimize their finances and as a result, miss out on crucial growth opportunities that can make their operations competitive and sustainable across generations.
At Stanford University’s Agriculture program, Jayce met Sami, a USDA Project Manager who equipped thousands of midwestern row crop farmers with soil science research. Both women recognized the need for farmer-friendly financial tools and decided to team up and build the solution.
With their technical cofounder, Albert, the founding team developed a simplified application for USDA conservation funding that streamlined hours of paperwork into a 15-minute application. Within a few days of launching, hundreds of farmers signed up to use FarmRaise’s funding tool and spread the word to producers across the country.
Today, we’re a growing community of 15K+ innovative farmers leveraging our simple, digital tools to match with funding and manage cash flow. The FarmRaise platform is powered by a team of farmer-obsessed software engineers, business managers, and yes, farmers, who share a common commitment to earning farmer trust while cultivating joy and sustainability at work.
