company values

Our core values

At FarmRaise, our core values guide everything we do—from the way we work with farmers to how we collaborate as a team. We focus on building trust, taking action, and always showing up authentically.

We Earn Farmer Trust

We earn farmers’ trust in our expertise and our product by communicating clearly and delivering consistently. They can trust our product and our team to provide them with sound advice, handle their information securely, and give them a frictionless experience.

We Prefer Mistakes to Inaction

We strive to prove ourselves wrong quickly. We say yes to the best option, even if it is not the most conservative one. We take risks founded on confidence in our ability to execute.  We think creatively about how to deliver faster or better than expected, and then we act. We then measure and learn from the outcomes of our actions

We show up authentically

We participate together authentically. We honor our individual stories, identities and perspectives. We help our colleagues understand the context that we carry through conscious and intentional disclosure of emotional states. We uphold a working environment where individuals feel safe to participate honestly.

We handle hard with ease and playfulness

When faced with difficult conversations, challenging or tedious work tasks, or complex problems, we approach them with curiosity and a growth mindset. We lean into situations with a spirit of playfulness and abundance.
