AcreTrader is a real estate investing platform that gives accredited investors access to farmland by letting them buy shares in specific farms. It sources and vets farmland deals, then lists them on a marketplace where investors choose deals to fund. Once funded, AcreTrader handles farmland management and collects rent from farmers, taking a fee that is a percentage of the rent. Compared with other investing options, AcreTrader focuses on a specialized asset class—farmland—and provides a turnkey path for investors who may not have agriculture experience by handling deal sourcing, vetting, and ongoing property management. The company’s goal is to broaden access to farmland as an alternative asset, helping investors diversify portfolios and earn income from rents without needing to directly manage farms.
