PRI Profile

Dirt Capital Partners purchases small and sustainably-managed farmland and offers low-cost and flexible terms to small-scale farmers. Dirt Capital’s impact strategy focuses on wealth creation for farmers, many of whom are farmers of color, who employ regenerative practices. Many talented and profitable farmers do not quality for conventional loans and must operate on leased land instead. For farmers, insecure land tenure inhibits multi-year business planning and can have a negative impact on regenerative farming practices. Dirt Capital crafts long-term leases that allow farmers to expand their practices and also provides defined pathways to farmland ownership.

Highlight

In 2025, Dirt Capital reached 50 projects with a national platform spanning 23,000+ acres across 16 states, and the majority of Dirt Capital’s portfolio supports BIPOC-led farms, women-owned farms, and young farmers.
