Financing Our Foodshed with Carol Peppe Hewitt

Carol Peppe Hewitt is an author, business owner, social entrepreneur, and a pioneer in the Slow Money movement. 

Since founding Slow Money NC
in 2010, Carol has catalyzed over 85 low-interest loans to nearly 50
small farmers and local food businesses in North Carolina - with a goal
of building resilient local foodsheds from the coast to the mountains.
Altogether, these loans now total over a million dollars.

Carol's new book, Financing Our Foodshed: Growing Local Food With Slow Money  tells
the compelling, real-life stories of 22 Slow Money entrepreneurs.
Through her words, we meet the folks who grow, process, distribute, and
sell local food in her part of the country, as well as the many generous
individuals who have stepped up to become their supporters. 

Currently
on a national book tour, Carol is spreading the idea even further that
Slow Money is a simple yet profound activity we can all take part in.
