Capital that knows what a farm is.

The Challenge

Very few investors support conservation-focussed regenerative agriculture: farmers who are not making the best short-term financial use of their land, but are making the best long-term holistic use of their land. Sacha offers structures that align capital, terms and timelines with what those farmers need for land access, supply chain infrastructure and ownership models that regenerate agricultural land.

Desired Impact Outcomes

We seek to support productive farm operations while strengthening the land, livelihoods and food systems they depend on.


Resilient Farms

More resilient farms with lower input costs, greater resilience to drought/floods, and potentially more stable yields and margins to enable transitions to the next generation of farmers.


Healthier Soils

More organic matter, better soil structures and improved water infiltration, reduced runoff and erosion, and water quality.


Biodiversity & Climate Benefits

Better habitat and greater diversity of plants and animals, including pollinators, birds and beneficial insects, , increased carbon stored in soils/biomass, and lower GHG emissions from chemical inputs


Stronger Food Systems

More opportunities for  local food production, supply and distribution, including value-added food processing.


Sustainable Livelihoods

Improved farm economics sustains farm employment and rural livelihoods

Our Approach

We invest in established farms in British Columbia and Alberta, including the land and infrastructure that support them.

We believe well-managed agricultural land offers lasting value when productive farming and long-term ecosystem health reinforce one another. We work with experienced producers committed to improving soil health, water management and biodiversity through regenerative practices.

Our capital works alongside conventional financing, with structures shaped around the land, the operation and the producer’s long-term plans.

How We Deploy Capital

We structure capital around four agricultural opportunities, with financing shaped around the land, operation and producer.


Land Acquisitions

Helping experienced producers acquire farmland for long-term regenerative management.


Farm Expansion

Supporting the purchase of additional land needed to scale and strengthen an established operation.


Ownership Transition

Creating pathways for farmland to move to the next generation of regenerative producers.


Land Stewardship

Supporting investments that improve soil, water, biodiversity and long-term agricultural resilience.

Financing Solutions

Lending

Financing of up to $10 million for farmland, secured by a first mortgage. Family homes are excluded from the security. Rates and repayment terms reflect the project, producer and regenerative outcomes.

Direct Investment

Sacha purchases agricultural land and leases it to regenerative producers, with terms that can provide a pathway to ownership over time.

Co-Investing

Sacha invests alongside a producer through a separate land-holding company. The producer makes a meaningful co-investment and retains responsibility for the farm operation.

  • $1 Million to $10 Million

  • Typically 5 Years for Loans, Up to 10 Years for Investments.

  • 2% to 7% Lending, 4% to 6% Co-Investment

  • First Mortgage or Direct Interest in Land
