If you're curious about how farmland can diversify your portfolio, act as an inflation hedge, and support a healthier planet, you’ll find plenty in this episode. Michelle is joined by Chris Zuehlsdorff, CEO of Iroquois Valley Farmland REIT. 

Iroquois Valley supports experienced organic farmers through long-term leases and mortgage financing, helping to preserve farmland and build a more resilient food system. 

Key takeaways:

  • Farmland as a Diversifier & Inflation Hedge: Investing in organic farmland provides real asset exposure that can balance a traditional 60:40 portfolio and help hedge against inflation.
  • Accessible, Values-Driven Impact Investing: Iroquois Valley makes it possible for both accredited AND non-accredited investors (minimum $10k) to support organic farmers. (Its SEC-registered Reg A structure and B Corp certification.)
  • Support the Next Generation of Farmers: The REIT’s portfolio skews younger, focusing on supporting millennial farmers to scale their sustainable businesses.

If you’re interested in learning more about how to align your investments with your values, or want exposure to organic farmland, check out the full episode or visit iroquoisvalley.com.
