Michigan Good Food Fund

Growing Michigan's Good Food Economy Since 2015

Michigan Good Food Fund is a statewide lending network that invests in food and farm entrepreneurs, offering flexible financing and tailored business assistance to grow a more resilient, inclusive local food system in Michigan.

Michigan Good Food Fund meets entrepreneurs where they are, connects them with what they need, and builds long-term relationships that help their businesses thrive. As we work toward a more resilient, inclusive food industry, Michigan Good Food Fund focuses on entrepreneurs whose access to power and capital has been historically limited because of their race, ethnicity, and/or gender. The collaborative’s efforts are guided by the shared vision of its Stakeholder Board, a diverse group of entrepreneurs, farmers, funders, and policymakers with deep roots in Michigan.

Together, Michigan Good Food Fund’s Stakeholder Board sets the vision of success, investment policies and priorities, informs strategy, and maintains accountability—ensuring investments respond to community-identified needs. Fair Food Network, an investor and founding member of the Michigan Good Food Fund, has served as administrative manager since 2021.
