We invest in business models and infrastructure that allow farmers to earn a larger share of the food dollar. By supporting farm stops, processors, and direct-to-market channels, we help farmers move beyond thin commodity margins and sell into fairer, more stable markets. Our goal is simple: more income for farmers, more predictable demand, and stronger long-term viability for regional agriculture.

We focus on the overlooked backbone of food systems: aggregation, processing, storage, distribution, and neighborhood retail. These businesses reduce dependence on fragile global supply chains and create redundancy at the regional level. By investing across the value chain, we help build food systems that can withstand economic shocks, climate disruptions, and market volatility.

We support shorter, more transparent supply chains that connect farmers directly to regional markets. Fewer intermediaries mean farmers keep more value, consumers get fresher food, and communities reduce the environmental costs of long-distance transportation. Where middlemen add real value, we invest in making them more efficient, fair, and aligned with farmer and community outcomes.

Grange Ventures prioritizes locally rooted businesses and community-owned infrastructure. Capital is deployed close to home and, whenever possible, recycled back into the same regions to support the next generation of entrepreneurs. This approach keeps wealth circulating locally, strengthens rural and regional economies, and ensures that growth benefits the people who live and work there.
