Thank you for your interest in a loan with California FarmLink.


We make commercial loans to help you finance your farm, ranch or fishing business. Please review the loan eligibility guidelines here. We require that you have a current management role in a California-based farm, ranch, or fishing business and two or more years of experience (earning farm or fishing income as an owner or employee).


  • How much money you want to borrow and how you want to use it
  • Tax returns for the prior three years
  • Income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow projections
  • Production records for the prior three years.

If you are missing any of the above documents, our team can assist you with the process. Your application cannot be reviewed until your Loan Application is complete. Please be prepared for follow-up questions as we review loans on a case-by-case basis. We often need additional information from people to better understand the financials of their businesses.

The loan review is a process of learning about each other. We focus on providing clarity at each step leading to a loan decision.

Conservation Loan: We make “bridge loans” to help people access conservation programs like the USDA NRCS Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and California’s Healthy Soils Program (HSP). Both programs provide payments for farmers and ranchers to implement practices to conserve and protect water, build soil organic matter, create food sources and habitat for beneficial insects, and more.
