In 2018, our team had been investing individually in farmland for over a decade. Because of our backgrounds in agriculture, we knew about farmland’s appeal, but recognized the high cost of entry and the burden of farm management kept farmland inaccessible to the average investor. At the same time, we saw an opportunity to provide farmers with innovative routes to capital for expansion. Using our combined experience in finance, tech, and agriculture, we created the first accessible farmland investments platform.
A transparent and accessible land market.
Empowering our customers to analyze land and invest with advanced technology, data, and expertise.
Land is our passion. Land is essential for the wellbeing of individuals, families, communities, and our world.
