Crosshatch Center for Art and Ecology and Oryana Community Co-Op have announced the 2025 recipients for their Microloan program, which offers zero interest loans to local farms and food businesses.
This year’s recipients are Open Air Farms in Cedar and Carter’s Compost in Traverse City.
Open Air Farms produces a wide variety of vegetables and flowers which are sold within the region at farmers markets, retail stores, and through their CSA. They received a microloan of $7,000 to upgrade and expand their wash/pack facility, where produce is prepared for sale after being harvested in the field.
