Meet Upstream Partner: @compeerfinancial Compeer connects to Minnesota through the people it works with. By helping small-scale farmers achieve their goals through lending programs, and equipping farmers to make the transition to sustainable agriculture, Compeer encourages care for the land and natural resources. Compeer Lending Officer Sai Thao delivers one-on-one business planning and development, helping the farmer with their business strategies before providing the loan. Compeer also provides an Organic Bridge Loan that helps farmers transition from traditional to organic farming. By treating small farmers with respect and positivity, Compeer celebrates the people that work with and care for the land of Minnesota. Compeer supports others as they go Upstream, and through them celebrates and cares for our land. — from Instagram
