About Area One Farms
Area One Farms is the only Canadian agricultural investment group with a model based on real equity partnerships, enabling farm operators to expand without the burden of fees, rent, or interest payments.
WHAT WE DO Area One Farms bridges the gap between agriculture and equity – helping quality Canadian farmers expand their operations in a stable, committed partnership with investors. Within each equity partnership, we also help farm partners adopt farm management principles and practices that help raise the effectiveness and efficiency of farming operations, increasing their land productivity and overall profitability. We currently have farm partnerships in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario. As each farm is unique, we design partnerships as joint ventures to suit and support the financial and operational goals of each operation.
GROWING We know that agricultures true value is found where farmers are involved in the long-term, intergenerational success of their farm. While farmers often want to expand and grow their farm for the next generation, and have the capacity to do so, access to capital often limits the possibility to make this a reality. At Area One Farms we bring growth and this long-term mindset together with a joint venture where farmers are owners. We believe that this ownership drives investment in the success of their business and results in a win-win for all stakeholders. We understand farming because we are farmers ourselves. We understand the pressures, the challenges, the excitement and the long-term impact brought with farm expansion. Let us show you a unique way to expand without undue risk. Our guiding principle in everything we do is that operators should always do better working with Area One Farms than they could on their own.
We do not charge fees, rent, or interest.
