Return® and Growers Edge Launch Fast, No-Hassle Input Financing
The new program offers farmers who need access to capital near-instant credit decisions, competitive rates, and a 100% digital process.
April 7, 2025 – Stewartville, MN – Return, a Midwest-based organic input supplier, has partnered with Growers Edge, to offer fast, affordable input financing designed for the needs of today’s growers.
Together, Return and Growers Edge are cutting out the red tape and giving farmers a better way to finance sustainable inputs—without slowing down their season.
Built with speed and simplicity in mind, the new program offers near-instant credit decisions, competitive rates, and a 100% digital process. That means growers can get the Return inputs they need to build soil health—compost, poultry-litter fertilizers, and more—without waiting on a loan officer or paying up front.
Why It Matters
"Too often, growers miss their window waiting on credit approvals,” said Adam Brummond, Co-founder and CEO of Return. “This partnership flips the script—letting folks secure the sustainable inputs they need today and pay later when they start seeing a return in the field."
“We aim to make sustainability accessible to every farmer,” said Elena Bell, Sustainability Business Development Director at Growers Edge. “Solutions like this one help farmers access the capital they need to invest in inputs that not only drive yield, but also protect their land. Return’s products support better soil structure, long-term field health, and cleaner water—and we’re proud to help bring those solutions to growers who care about both performance and stewardship.”

Investing in Land Stewardship
This isn’t just about cash flow—it’s about long-term care for the land. When farmers finance Return’s organic growing supplies, they’re making choices that build soil structure, reduce nutrient runoff, and protect water quality. It’s a win for yields, and for the communities these farmers call home.
“Farmers take pride in their communities and being good stewards of the land,” added Brummond. “This financing option gives them the flexibility to choose inputs that align with their values—without compromising operational goals or cash flow.”
