Crimson & Clover Farm is the CSA vegetable operation chosen by Grow Food Northampton to lease the Northampton Community Farm that Equity Trust played an important part in helping to create. In 2013, Crimson & Clover received a loan to enable it to purchase a leasehold interest in the barns and other structures that belong to the farm. State Agricultural Preservation Restrictions preclude the sale of the buildings, so Equity Trust worked with the farmers and Grow Food Northampton to craft this innovative ownership structure that enables the farmers to hold and build equity in the farm and then transfer it to subsequent farmers for the full agricultural value of the barns.
