Premium animal feed provider, looking for the capital to reset their business for growth.
"I have never seen a bank so nimbly provide us with not only capital, but solutions made for us....It's truly been remarkable to get that flexibility. If you want a bank that actually puts the business first, beyond just checking boxes, Walden is the answer."
Matt Matros, Managing Partner
Mule City Speciality Feeds
Leading certifier of organic farmers and processors needing a line of credit as a financial safety net in uncertain times.
"Walden was able to extend a line of credit for our business...[and] have worked tirelessly with us to ensure we had a smooth transition to moving our operating account. While it's not a fun task to change operating banks, Walden really cared about our experience, learning about our daily and long-term needs and supported the transition as seamlessly as possible. [They] are a breath of fresh air."

Pennsylvania Certified Organic
Producers of high-quality bone broth for dogs that was searching for growth capital to enter the next stage of their evolution.
"We were looking for a bank that was friendly towards growing small businesses. Our past experiences with banks were characterized by excess red tape...but Walden is more relationship-oriented and interested in our business - so we were able to secure an increased line of credit to help us scale."
Kim Hehir, Co-Founder
Brutus Broth
Plant-based supplement start-up looking for cash flow relief to fuel new growth.
"When we first got connected with Walden, we were facing extremely high debt service costs that were putting a real strain on the business. It felt like we were stuck in a cycle that made it hard to invest in growth or even breathe. Walden’s products and services have helped us solve one of our biggest challenges: cash flow. By improving our cash flow dramatically, they’ve given us the ability to properly reinvest our operating profits back into the business. Walden shows up with real commitment, real flexibility, and real belief in our vision. It’s the kind of relationship we always hoped for but never found until now."
Ronald Change, Co-Founder
Ora Organic
Family of long-time farmers looking to establish their own operation, searching for the capital to acquire land.
"Working with Walden has been great, because for our family, coming into the opportunity to buy a place of our own finally in mid-life, having mostly farmed for a lot of our lives, we didn't have a lot of capital to run out there and buy a farm. Having a big part of our business be related to solar grazing, normal financing through the Farm Services Agency wasn't available to us in the same way it would've otherwise been...and Walden was willing to be flexible and see the value in this kind of unique business model."
