The Values Connecting Impact Investing and Organic Agriculture
Iroquois Valley Farms Co-Founder and CEO, Dave Miller, makes it sound simple: “We built this company to support the businesses of our farmers.” Iroquois Valley Farms merges the worlds of socially responsible investing and organic farming to provide land access and financing to farmers interested in expanding their regenerative organic businesses. As a company dedicated to maximizing environmental and social returns in addition to economic returns, it made perfect sense to become a Certified B Corporation.
Organic farming operates differently from the conventional agriculture world. Therefore, a company built to support organic farmers must operate differently from conventional companies. As a Certified B Corp, Iroquois Valley Farms faces self-imposed standards of accountability and measures itself against a broader purpose. By implanting the Certified B Corp structure and pledging to be a business that benefits all while doing no harm, Iroquois Valley Farms embeds its mission to support organic farmers in its operating structure.
