THE FUTURE IS NOW

 

The proceeds will help us support family farms.

Launched in 2015, Piggy Bank is dedicated to create best in practice business plans for farmers raising heritage breed pigs, many of which are endangered. Piggy Bank provides access to business plans that help emerging family farms successfully navigate the ongoing process of raising heritage pigs in an extremely competitive marketplace. Piggy Bank aims to change the future of food by creating a community in which small farmers can learn about safer, more responsible practices and share information needed to thrive as small businesses. Piggy Bank proudly operates as a project of Multiplier, a 501(c)3 tax-exempt nonprofit organization which accelerates impact for initiatives focused on protecting and fostering a healthy, sustainable, resilient, and equitable world.

The goal is simple: to create a foundation that will ensure family farmers have resources to run successful businesses and clear a path for new farmers to start growing safe and honest food for generations of children and cooks to come.

We are facing a silver tsunami in many businesses, including farmers.

With so many farmers in their 60s, who is going to help support sustainable farm to table efforts? Who will take their place? Scarcity is imminent. Piggy Bank not only focuses on genetics for heritage breed pigs, but helps to establish new farmers by establishing a farm business plan database. Helping them access best practices and scale quickly to provide healthier, tastier heritage breed pork to consumers. For Piggy Bank and @GrowAFarmer, it's not about just giving a 'fish' but teaching to 'fish' that matters. Together we are planting seeds to make sure we have farmers for the next generation.
