Farms, Fisheries, & Forestry

"I have never seen a bank so nimbly provide us with not only capital, but solutions made for us....It's truly been remarkable to get that flexibility. If you want a bank that actually puts the business first, beyond just checking boxes, Walden is the answer."

‍

"Walden was able to extend a line of credit for our business...[and] have worked tirelessly with us to ensure we had a smooth transition to moving our operating account. While it's not a fun task to change operating banks, Walden really cared about our experience, learning about our daily and long-term needs and supported the transition as seamlessly as possible. [They] are a breath of fresh air."

"Working with Walden has been great, because for our family, coming into the opportunity to buy a place of our own finally in mid-life, having mostly farmed for a lot of our lives, we didn't have a lot of capital to run out there and buy a farm. Having a big part of our business be related to solar grazing, normal financing through the Farm Services Agency wasn't available to us in the same way it would've otherwise been...and Walden was willing to be flexible and see the value in this kind of unique business model."

"This unique bank you have created was a perfect match for what I needed and will have a lasting positive influence on the community for a long time to come. The property I purchased was unique with a unique set of challenges during the purchasing process. When I say Patrick went above and beyond what I would think his role would be, I'm underselling his help. This is a life changing project for me, so his help literally changed the course of my future."

"I consider myself a Walden evangelist, no doubt about it. We would not be where we are right now with them, especially with our terrible fire...It was a nightmare scenario for any small business owner, but Walden was with us every step of the way...We are more passionate than ever about helping our communities have more convenient access to local, healthy, and sustainable foods and Walden plays a major role in making it a reality."
