Investing in Our Community’s Future with the PVGrows Investment Fund and Franklin County CDC

Thanks to those who were able to join us on October 8, 2025, for Investing in Our Community’s Future, an enchanting evening of farm tours, cider tasting, and local snacks at Brookfield Farm.

During this 10th anniversary of the launch of the PVGrows Investment Fund, we celebrated the investors who made this work possible and welcomed new partners who see the value in the work we do to strengthen the food system.

We also welcomed in those who support Franklin County CDC and our community of small business of all types throughout western Massachusetts.
