Achates Farmland acquires productive agricultural land and livestock operations across multiple U.S. states—offering investors an ultimate hedge with the option to receive proceeds in kind, unprecedented operational visibility, and a social mission for the AI era.
Farmland is not just an asset class. It is the foundation of human survival—and the only investment that retains its value when everything else fails.
Financial markets assume continuity. We don't. Whether the threat is systemic financial collapse, currency debasement, supply chain failure, or geopolitical rupture, productive farmland with water, soil, and livestock is the one asset that cannot be defaulted on, printed away, or rendered worthless. This is not a tail risk allocation. This is first-principles positioning for a world that may not look like this one.
Uniquely among farmland funds, Achates offers investors the option to receive distributions as physical agricultural output—grain, beef, dairy, produce—rather than cash. In a scenario where currency loses meaning, your investment still feeds your family. This is not theoretical. The legal and logistical framework is built into the fund structure from day one.
Most farmland investors receive a quarterly PDF. Achates investors get a real-time operational dashboard—live data on crop health, livestock weight and breeding, soil conditions, weather, planting and harvest progress, and per-field profitability. You see what's growing, what's being harvested, and what your land is producing, as it happens.
A portion of fund proceeds supports the Achates Foundation, a nonprofit that retrains and employs people whose livelihoods have been disrupted by artificial intelligence. We place them in meaningful agricultural work on fund properties—turning displacement into stewardship. Your investment doesn't just hedge the future. It helps the people the future left behind.
Every Achates investor has access to a live operational dashboard that provides a level of transparency unheard of in farmland investing.
Field-by-field planting status, growth stage, expected harvest dates, and yield projections updated as conditions change.
Herd inventory, weight gain trends, breeding cycles, health records, and per-head cost of production—all in one view.
Per-field and per-operation revenue, expenses, and profitability. No more waiting 90 days for a summary PDF.
Site-specific weather data, soil moisture readings, and frost/drought alerts for every property in the portfolio.
Every planting, fertilizer application, veterinary visit, and harvest event logged and visible as it happens.
For investors electing physical distributions, track exactly what's being grown, stored, and allocated to your account.
Artificial intelligence is eliminating millions of jobs—clerical, creative, analytical, logistical. The people displaced are not abstractions. They are truck drivers, paralegals, copywriters, bookkeepers, and customer service representatives. Many have no clear path forward.
The Achates Foundation, funded by a portion of fund management fees, provides retraining and employment in agricultural operations on fund properties. Participants learn soil management, animal husbandry, equipment operation, and farm business administration—skills that cannot be automated and that the world will always need.
This is not philanthropy at arm's length. It is structurally integrated into the fund. The people working your land have a stake in its success, and you have a stake in theirs.
We acquire diversified farmland and livestock operations across multiple states, building a portfolio designed to produce in any scenario.
Geographic diversification across climate zones, crop types, and water sources. No single drought, freeze, or regional event can compromise the portfolio. We target the Midwest, Delta, Pacific Northwest, and Southeast.
We acquire both cropland and livestock operations, building vertically integrated farms that produce grain, protein, and dairy. This diversification is critical for investors electing in-kind distributions.
Every property is evaluated for water security, soil depth, infrastructure condition, and self-sufficiency potential. We build farms that can operate independently of fragile supply chains—because that's the entire point.
