Who We Are

Changing the Future of Agriculture,
One Relationship at a Time

At Potlikker Capital, we measure our success not by the number of relationships we build but by the lasting impact we create within the communities we serve. Our dedicated team is united by a vision of transforming the agricultural landscape by empowering historically under-resourced producers and processors.

These collaborations go beyond funding—they foster resilience, create opportunities, and lay the foundation for long-term change. We drive transformative progress for producers, processors, and their communities, helping them build sustainable futures and enhance economic resilience. Each partnership represents a step toward a stronger, more adaptable food system, one that recognizes the innovation and strength of the people at its core.

We are committed to building a future where sustainable agriculture and economic opportunity are accessible to all.

We envision a future where all producers—farmers, ranchers, fishers, processors, distributors, and retailers—have the resources and support they need to succeed. When these producers have what they need, the communities they serve grow stronger, with more access to local food, stable jobs, and economic opportunities. By promoting regenerative practices and building a sustainable, fair food system, we aim to create a healthier future for everyone.

Our Values

We are committed to challenging outdated systems and fighting for equality. Our work empowers historically underresourced producers across the food system, providing them with the tools they need to succeed. We support reparations, land sovereignty, and food sovereignty as essential steps toward a fairer future for all producers, no matter their background.

We are building a movement where every producer has the support and opportunities to thrive. Potlikker Capital listens closely to producers' needs, places them at the center of our work, and creates spaces where they can grow and feel a sense of belonging. The strength of our communities will drive real change.

Wisdom, Knowledge, & Empowerment

We honor the wisdom passed down through generations of agricultural stewardship. Our goal is to empower producers with the knowledge, resources, and capital needed to create lasting change. We challenge oppressive systems and encourage new ideas and regenerative practices to shape the future of food.

Respect & Empathy

We approach every project with respect and empathy for the people and communities we serve. We understand that each producer’s journey is unique, and we support them with humility, trust, and belief in their potential. We recognize the contributions of historically underresourced communities and work to open doors to new opportunities for all.
