“If what you need is equity for growth or a way to grow where you also own part of it, as opposed to building it on rented land, we are your very best option.”

“I ended up with this idea of a true partnership that injects capital into the farm to enable growth while maintaining the land base control with the farmer,” Faulkner says. “The farmer still owns the portion of land he or she can afford, and any profit and capital appreciation that is created by the partnership is shared equitably by the farmer and the investor.”
