You can become part of the food renaissance right now, and begin your own escape to good food and self-actualization. It takes a small step, a few minutes of your time, and an act of commitment that says "I am changing things myself." It's simple enough, kick in a crowdfunded loan to a rancher. And I have visited this ranch, you want to be a part of it!
What goes around comes around. To help someone else will give you some "buy-in" to help yourself. You'll change in your thinking knowing you are a part of something good.
A farmer wants a loan, but does not want the traditional big bank loans with their woeful consequences. I am so keen on this effort because it is a critical component in regrowing a just economy.
So what you do is just log on and make a "loan" of as little as $5! or $50 or $100 or finish this up and be a hero by loaning $3335.00. The goal is $10k and they have over $6500 pledged now. You get paid back in monthly installments over 36 months. (And Paypal seems to be their payment processor, but Paypal is optional in the process, if that matters to you.)
More than the money in and out, you are reminded monthly of the contribution you are making, and knowing that a farm is safely borrowing. And you will learn about this wholesome, fair, beneficial community financing method because you have hands-experience. It continues to grow. Help make it bigger and be there when you could use financing.
I am studying usury and economic justice and so on as I have been blogging. There is a working alternative that is actually active worldwide. Participate now, even if you have to switch a small amount from one budget item to this. Then you will have something new in your mix upon which to reflect. They only have 12 days left in the campaign. You see good food and can say "I am a part of that." Make a Kiva loan now.
Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
