About Sustainable Local Food Investment Group
SLoFIG was founded in January of 2011 by a group of investors brought together under the auspices of Fresh Taste, a partnership of several foundations and the City of Chicago. Its members shared an investment philosophy that focused on the importance of building community wealth through a healthier local food chain. Their goal is to help rebuild and re-localize the regional food chain, while seeking a profitable rate of return. Members of SLoFIG are committed to nurturing an interconnected web of entrepreneurs and small businesses that provide diverse communities access to healthy, sustainably grown foods.
