Nova Scotia Farm Loan Board
COVID-19 Update
October 2020
As COVID-19 continues to impact all of us, we continue to work with clients to support our agriculture sector in Nova Scotia. The Nova Scotia Farm Loan Board remains committed to working with our existing clients through this crisis and welcomes inquiries from prospective clients who wish to learn about the difference Nova Scotia based financing can make.
With over 100 years of lending in the farm and fisheries sectors in Nova Scotia we have experienced many ups and downs in business and economic cycles. We have always stood by our clients – and this time is no different.
Office locations and How to Reach Lending Staff
The health and safety of staff and clients always remains our top priority. Please note you can still reach your loan officer during normal business hours by contacting them through phone or email. You can also contact our main line at 902-893-6506 to have your call directed.

Investing in the future for generations
We understand what it takes to farm in Nova Scotia. Like generations of Nova Scotia farmers before, you know this land.

That's why for over 100 years we have been committed to supporting Nova Scotia farmers. Our clients aren't numbers or accounts – they're our friends, our neighbours and our family.
