One-Time Expense Reimbursement Fee

1.0% of Investment Amount

Annual Management Fee

0.5% of Investment Amount

All fees are applicable upon deal closure. FarmTogether doesn’t charge any fees during syndication period or in case of deal cancelation.

The total deal size is $1,530,000 and 100% of the deal will be funded with investor equity. The first payout will be made after the deal is closed and annually thereafter on the anniversary of the deal closing. The payouts are comprised of a base rent and a percentage of total gross revenue. Since the trees were just planted, the vast majority of the cash yield during the hold period will be driven by the guaranteed base rent payment. This means that we expect  little to no volatility in yearly returns. At exit in year 8, Raptor Ag will purchase the sublease for a guaranteed price of $2,177,000.

Edward Jenner Hazelnut Orchard is one contiguous block of hazelnuts located in a prime growing region in Benton County.

Edward Jenner Hazelnut Farm

Hazelnuts are relatively small, durable trees that begin producing at age 3, reach peak production near age 10, and produce at that level for many decades.

This property was planted in September 2019 to the next generation hazelnut variety PollyO. This variety was developed by Oregon State University.

At the webinar, we’ll talk in detail about the new investment opportunity, how investing with FarmTogether works and various legal vehicles you can use to invest with us.

Hazelnuts are a protein-packed nut that can be roasted, made into butter, or used in confectionery dishes. Nearly all hazelnuts in the US are grown in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, but 70% of global supply is from Turkey. Food manufacturers have a heightened interest in the Oregon hazelnut industry due to its very high productivity and quality, and sustainable and ethical practices. This is our CEO’s personal favourite nut.

Growing Market

This is an excellent opportunity for investors looking for a safe yet high yielding investment. Income to investors is paid annually and is a combination of guaranteed base rent and a crop share.  In year 8, the operator will purchase the property at a guaranteed price. Absent defaults from the operator, the worst-case scenario is a Net IRR of 8.7% and Net Average Cash Yield of 4.44%. In the default case, which we think is unlikely given zero debt by the lease payer, we are confident we can find another operator to take over the lease.

Strong Downside Protection

Raptor Ag is one of the largest growers of hazelnuts in North America. Through long-term leases and acquisitions, Raptor Ag provides financially attractive solutions for family farm generational transfers, absentee landowners and other farm owners, while providing investors with premier agricultural investment-grade opportunities.
