Investing in Farmland

[Tierra Carter]

Hello, My husband and I both grew up on large farming/ranching operations and we have also spent 5 years managing large numbers of cattle on large, corporate owned operations in Florida and Texas. With land prices so high and agricultural operations being so capital intensive, we see a large shift towards more corporate farms and less family owned farms. We would like to move out on our own and give our kids the opportunities for this lifestyle that we had. We have a vision of entering the market place as a small, family owned operation focused on regenerative practices and a direct to consumer model. This would be centered around a model of offering quality products such as eggs, meat chickens, beef, and produce. We realize that bringing in an investor may be our best option to help us in our vision. I am curious if anyone on bigger pockets has invested in a similar farming structure and what strategies helped them achieve it? Thanks in advance.
