Primarily buys farmland used to grow healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts.

15 states and over 45,000 acre-feet of banked water in California, valued at a total of approximately $1.6 billion.

Three Areas of Farming

PRIMARY FOCUS

TERTIARY FOCUS

ANNUAL FRESH PRODUCE PERMANENT CROPS

GRAINS & OTHER CROPS

We believe that farmland growing fresh produce (e.g., fruits and vegetables) and certain permanent crops (e.g., blueberries and nuts) is a superior investment over land growing commodity crops (e.g., corn, wheat, and soy), due to:

  • Higher profitability and rental income
  • Lower price volatility
  • Lower government dependency
  • Lower storage costs
  • Location typically closer to major urban populations, thus higher development potential

U.S. Farmland: Decreasing Supply, Increasing Demand

As available farmland to feed the world's growing population continues to decline, U.S. cropland has steadily appreciated in value. Further, we believe the amount of available farmland in the U.S. will con nue to decrease.

  • Every year, large amounts of farmland are converted to suburban uses, such as housing subdivisions, schools, parks, office buildings, government buildings, and industrial buildings.

We believe climate change has already negatively impacted many growing regions across the world, putting prime farmland in optimal climates in even higher demand.

We believe a lower supply of arable land will lead to higher profitability for the most fertile farms, and will lead to steady apprecia on of value and rental growth
