Maine credit union for food producers receives federal charter

Unity-based Maine Harvest Federal Credit Union will offer business loans to small farms, farmers and other food producers.

Maine would serve as the new organization’s East Coast hub.

The branches will increase the bank’s footprint to 22 Maine locations.

Some Maine-chartered banks view states such as New Hampshire and Vermont as attractive markets to expand their operations.

Sheryl McQuade will lead TD Bank’s northern New England operations through a network of roughly 130 branches and 4,300 employees.

Founded in 1999, BlueTarp creates customized line-of-credit programs that retailers and wholesalers can offer to their commercial customers.
