FarmTogether is an online farmland investment platform headquartered in San Francisco and founded by Artem Milinchuk. It enables accredited investors to invest in US institutional quality farmland. Investors can select from different properties, locations, and crop types curated by FarmTogether. Unlike a fund, the investor has full control of what they invest their money into.

Investors can also invest through their Bespoke channel, which enables individual investors to own the entire farm outright; this opportunity is sourced for investors who seek sole ownership and are willing to invest a capital of $1,000,000+ in equity per farm.

Investors make money in two ways. 

• Land income: Land generates income, typically either from rent or from profit off crops. In all cases, experienced farmers and farming companies pay rent or contract to work the land. The owners (FarmTogether on behalf of investors) take care of property taxes, expenses, etc. Investors receive cash flow from distributions of net profits after expenses and taxes.
• Land price appreciation: The team uses land assessment and market measures to value the property annually. Upon the property's sale, investors receive their proportional share of the profits.

FarmTogether's permanent crop offerings have the following fee structure: 2% one-time admin fee, 1-2% annual management fee, 5% net operating income fee. Their row crop offerings have the following fee structure: 1% one-time admin fee, 20% of the gross rent (typically 0.75%-1.0% annual management fee). Please refer to their Private Placement Memorandum for each deal for more information.

The most common risks are overpaying for land and not understanding the prevailing lease rates and their drivers in the area. FarmTogether mitigates these risks by being conservative in their underwriting and partnering with highly experienced farmers and farmland investment managers. At the same time, the allocation of substantial amounts of capital for investment in farmland and farming-related properties and significant competition for income-producing real estate may inflate the purchase prices for such assets. If they acquire properties in such an inflated environment, it is possible that the value of the properties may not appreciate and may, instead, decrease in value, perhaps significantly, below the amount they paid for such assets. In addition to macroeconomic and local economic factors, technical factors, such as a decrease in the amount of capital allocated to the purchase of farmland and farming related properties and the number of investors participating in the sector, could cause the value of our assets to decline.
