SOIL is an acronym for Slow Opportunities for Investing Locally.
Taschâs newest project provides zero percent loans to local farmers, ranchers and food producers. The capital comes from community members who become impact investors with the investment of $250.
SOIL is part of the Slow Money movement, which over its first decade catalyzed the flow of more than $70 million to almost 700 small organic farms and food enterprises via dozens of local groups, a press release stated.
SOIL Sangre de Cristo follows the same model to support the local food economy and local producers by offering no-interest loans. The loan fund is made up of the contributions from investor members.
