At Iroquois Valley, we believe that strong communities foster strong farms and a successful investment portfolio. With our hub strategy, we concentrate investments in regions with the greatest potential for organic, regenerative agriculture to thrive. This approach supports farmers, reduces risk, and creates long-term value for both investors and the land.

When selecting farmland hub locations, we evaluate both land qualities and farmer readiness to ensure meaningful scale and investment alignment. Once established, our farmland hubs are evaluated on their ability to generate lasting results in four key areas described below.

Together, we’re building an organic, regenerative future, farm by farm. Curious to learn more about how this approach works and why it matters for both farmers and your investment portfolio?

FARM SPOTLIGHT

A & T Organic Farms

Jeff Anderson (Iroquois Valley Board Member) and Tyler Tindall have turned A & T Organic Farms into a 6,000-acre organic powerhouse in northern Illinois. Blending generations of farming tradition with cutting-edge technology, they’re producing corn and soybeans that become organic tortillas, chips, and tofu enjoyed from California to New York.

But for Jeff and Tyler, it’s about more than yields—it’s about family, innovation, and pushing organic agriculture forward every year. Want to learn more?

IN THE MEDIA

PACKER FEATURE ON IROQUOIS VALLEY

We’re honored that The Packer—the produce industry’s leading source for news and analysis—recently featured Iroquois Valley’s work in supporting farmers transitioning conventional cropland to organic.

The article highlights Wholesome Meadows Farm, where the Smith family grew their produce operation into diversified row crops with our support. As Josh Smith shares: “When it comes to expanding a farm and buying farmland, the options are buy it yourself or get a loan from a bank or partner with a group like Iroquois Valley that wants to invest in farmland. It’s a great company to work with and a great opportunity. For us, it’s been huge.”

We’re grateful for the recognition, but even more so for the opportunity to walk alongside farmers like the Smiths as they help shape the future of organic, regenerative agriculture.

DIAMOND E. RANCH PROFILE

In case you missed it, last month we released an inspiring new video featuring Iroquois Valley rancher Cindy Tolle in Cochise County, AZ.

Diamond E. Ranch is Audubon Conservation Ranching Certified, reflecting its deep commitment to regenerative practices that restore soil health and support biodiversity. Cindy raises Criollo cattle, a heritage breed that uses just a quarter of the water of conventional cattle and gains weight rapidly, feasting on native grasslands, making the model both ecologically and financially resilient. Cindy's ranch is driving significant conservation efforts across Southeast Arizona.

INVESTOR QUESTION OF THE MONTH

Q: I wish I could invest more with Iroquois Valley, but the 5-year holding period feels like a barrier. Why do you require a 5-year lock-up for investments?

A: The 5-year commitment is an important feature of investing with Iroquois Valley. We provide patient capital to organic, regenerative, and transitioning farmers across the country. For farmers, success doesn’t happen overnight—transitioning from conventional to organic certification alone takes at least three years, and it often takes five or more years for a farm to stabilize and become profitable.

The 5-year lock-up allows us to match the time horizon of our farmers’ businesses with the time horizon of our investors' capital and still provide investors with a shorter lock-up than most other private equity investments. From an investor’s perspective, the commitment period is designed to be a long-term investment that provides low volatility, attractive yields, uncorrelated returns, portfolio diversification and a strong inflation hedge.  

Many of our investors view Iroquois Valley as a natural fit for retirement capital. You can invest through tax-deferred accounts (IRAs, SEPs) with third-party custodians. Additionally, Iroquois Valley REIT Equity Shares are approved as an Alternative Investment with Fidelity, Charles Schwab & Co. Inc., and Pershing, so you can hold shares directly in your brokerage account!

CONNECTING FARMERS, COMMUNITIES, AND INVESTORS SINCE 2007

As a corporate guideline, we do not look for specific farmland to purchase or finance. We develop relationships with farmers who want to grow their businesses. We move forward when we have a ready, willing, and able farmer.
