Sunfox Farm

Lending to Sunfox Farm for their food truck means more to us than just a business loan. It’s creating an asset for an entire community that connects neighbors, friends, and families while producing local food and products.

Derry Oak Village

We spoke with Carole Mannino and Rachel Hamilton, the President of the Board and the Recording Secretary of the Board, respectively, of the Derry Oak Village Cooperative — the 150th resident-owned community (ROC) that we helped establish. Together they painted a picture of the process of learning that their manufactured-home park was for sale, learning how to establish a cooperative that empowered the park residents to buy Derry Oaks, and how we helped them go from frightened to optimistic.
