J Ludavico Farms speedy expansion

7/29/2017

Julius & Jamie Ludavico and Co. with their new Ice Maker purchased with a Slow Money loan. J. Ludavico Farms has tripled their poultry production since the beginning of the year. Their chickens are raised using the Korean Natural Farming method and these folks really know what they're doing!!!
The most beautiful part of this Slow Money Hawaii loan however, is that it was made by one farmer to another along with a bit of mentoring.

About the author:
Mary Spadaro

Founder and facilitator of Slow Money Hawaii, Mary spent a decade in small businesses before a 17 year career in non-profit fundraising. At Waikiki Health Center and Easter Seals Hawaii, where she helped donors align their philanthropy with their philanthropy, she came to understand that business and charity share the goal to be a force for good in their communities. Yet, they are regarded so differently. After retiring from fund raising and pursuing her interest in gardening and agriculture, Mary learned about the emerging third sector (also referred to as Values or Impact Investing) and Slow Money. In this realm, she found the opportunity to combine her fundraising skills with her love of farms, garden-fresh food and nature to play a small role in helping Hawaii farmers to rebuild a sustain-able and regenerative agricultural system that will nourish us all.
