Wildcat Ridge Farms LLC is in the 14 day beginning fundraising phase with Kiva. During this time, they need 14 lenders to give to their campaign so that it can go public. As you probably know, they currently have pasture-raised beef, pork, chicken and brown eggs. You may not know they started growing saltwater shrimp and were within two weeks of harvest in Feb 2021 when an ice storm knocked out power for 40+ hours, their generator failed, and they lost not only the shrimp, but all of their equipment.

The $6,500 loan would allow them to purchase a backup generator large enough to work not only with the shrimp barn and greenhouse, but also future greenhouses. The loan would also give them the ability to buy agricultural water tanks, pipes and equipment to raise fish in the greenhouse, utilizing a runway system to grow vegetables. Contact lending team Rural Action if you have questions about Kiva loans.
