We tailor our proactive land investment program around identifying investment-grade land acquisitions for investors and sources of capital for farmers who are looking for someone to purchase land they can lease.
Rising investor interest coupled with the need for outside capital to finance land purchases led Peoples Company to develop a proactive Land Investment Program tailored around identifying investment grade land acquisitions for investors and sources of capital for farmers who are looking for someone to purchase land they can lease.
Peoples Company consistently attends agricultural conferences throughout the country such as the Global Ag Conference, the Agri Investor Forum, and NCREIF, in addition to our Annual Land Investment Expo to foster key relationships with institutional and individual investors as well as form new relationships with potential referral sources on a larger scale. The land investment service allows Peoples Company to act as a clearinghouse for farmers and investors by ultimately sourcing and managing deals between the two parties.
We offer asset management for high net worth individuals and institutional investors in conjunction with, our affiliate, Alternative Equity Advisors.

Peoples Company is a proud signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (“PRI”), an investor initiative in partnership with UNEP Finance Initiative and the UN Global Compact, which is an international network of investors and service providers working collaboratively to implement the six Principles of Responsible Investment. Peoples Company is the first U.S.-based farmland brokerage, management, appraisal and investment services company among the nearly 1,400 signatories worldwide.
Peoples Company is proactive and works hard to anticipate the needs of those in the agricultural sector. We have co-authored two white papers entitled Socially Responsible Farmland Investment and Your Farmland and the Future.
This thought-provoking paper asserts that changing demographics is driving a trend by next-generation landowners to manage for appreciation and create sustainability through socially responsible farming.
With around 10% of all farmland changing hands in the next few years, farm succession planning is no longer optional, it’s essential. The future of farmland ownership is set to look very different in the coming years.
