****Create a New Asset Class. Feed the Planet. Fight Climate Change ****

Recognizing that farming is the single most vital industry on our planet, we at FarmTogether want to drive sustainable and prosperous food systems that work for everyone in our globally connected world.

We are creating a technology-driven investment and trading platform for natural assets, starting with the $10 trillion global farmland market - an asset class previously only accessible to the largest institutional investors. This is a unique opportunity to join at the beginning of this exciting journey and help grow a truly innovative financial product while also having an active role in battling climate change and creating food systems of the future.

Our vision is to ensure peace and plenty by investing in the sustainable agricultural revolution sweeping the planet today.

FarmTogether grew from $0 to $170M AUM in 2+ years by providing a high quality institutional-level product in a unique niche – farmland. Our team has combined $2B+ in transaction experience in the sector on behalf of some of the largest institutions in North America.

Farmland provides attractive risk-adjusted returns, is uncorrelated to virtually any other asset class, does tremendously well in both recessions and inflations, and has compelling long-term tailwinds. Most importantly, it is a powerful force for good, impacting 8 out of 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Our team, traction, and market size all point to a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to create a world-class company that will have a massive positive impact on our planet. We want you to join us on this exciting journey.
