Iroquois Valley was started in 2007 to provide land access to those who want to farm organically. As David Miller, Co-Founder, says, “We built our business to support the businesses of our farmers.”

You decide on the land that works for you and bring that opportunity to the company. We know that you may need particular land to build your operations, properties that may just come on the market once in a lifetime. We are not a farmland trading company. We provide family farmers the land security and financial support that will help you regenerate soils and build businesses.

Our farmers grow beans, corn, legumes, hay, wheat, nuts, fruits, vegetables and more; they milk cows and raise beef cattle, chickens, pigs and ducks. They farm more than 30,000 Iroquois Valley-purchased or -financed acres in 19 states. Many of our farmers are millennials. Most are from established farm families.

We are looking for farmers who want to improve their soils while growing healthy food. Iroquois Valley invests only in those who have farming experience, usually with organic production or grass-based operations, and who have a financially viable operation. It is helpful if you have a family history of successful farm operations, but we know not all have had that opportunity. Our farmers make their own business decisions and run their own operations. We will help you through your challenges so that you will thrive.

Iroquois Valley is a public benefit corporation, which means we — and our 750 investors — want a financial return but we want to make sure that return is consistent with our values as well. These investors provide capital for the company with the understanding that the company needs that money long- term in order to help farmers. Our investors live in more than 45 states and five countries.
