Conservation Resources has made its first investment of Conservation Resources Farmland II (CRF II). The fund bought a 155-acre permanent crop property in California producing kiwi and citrus. The acquisition strengthens Conservation Resources’ position as one of the largest institutional investor owners of bearing kiwi acreage in the United States.
The California property exemplifies CRF II’s differentiated investment strategy: acquiring institutional-quality permanent crop farmland in supply-constrained markets where active asset management can generate returns above passive ownership. Consistent with all CR fund investment properties, the farm will be managed regeneratively to what CR believes to be the most stringent regenerative agriculture standards in the industry. CR views this discipline as central to generating durable premium returns and building long-term asset value while also benefiting soil health, biodiversity, wildlife habitat and water conservation.
