Overview

Herd is a UK-based platform that allows investors to co-own and manage farms, emphasizing regenerative agriculture practices. By sourcing undervalued farms with high potential, Herd places each farm into a limited company, offering shares to qualified investors. These investors receive income and capital appreciation from the farm's performance. The farms are managed by Herd-approved farmers under revenue-sharing agreements, ensuring sustainable and profitable operations. Investors benefit from transparent reporting, including annual soil-health and biodiversity data, and have the option to receive cash distributions or reinvest their returns. Herd's approach combines financial investment with a commitment to environmental stewardship, aiming to reshape the future of British farming. The platform focuses on sourcing exceptional farms across the UK, including arable, pasture, and woodland sites, and places each farm into a new limited company (FarmCo). Investors can purchase shares in these FarmCos, representing direct equity in the farm and its land. The farms are managed by Herd-approved farmers under attractive revenue-sharing agreements, with regenerative milestones to ensure sustainable practices. Investors receive income and capital appreciation from the farm's performance, with transparent reporting and the option to receive cash distributions or reinvest their returns.
