RESEED FUND MANAGER

RESEED FUND MANAGER

Reseed Fund Manager was launched in 2019 to give institutional and high-net-worth investors direct exposure to farmland assets transitioning to regenerative management. The firm originates, structures, and monitors investments through a dedicated vehicle that acquires and converts conventional farmland — deploying capital into properties across the US row-crop belt and permanent-crop regions. All revenue from land appreciation, commodity sales, and carbon-credit generation flows back to a single fund structure, giving LPs three concurrent return levers from a single land position. Regenerative agriculture is the organizing principle. Reseed buys conventionally managed row-crop land in the Midwest and Delta regions, then funds the multi-year transition to no-till, cover-crop, and integrated-livestock systems. Permanent-crop acquisitions include almond and pistachio orchards in California's Central Valley, where the firm layers in biochar and compost applications. Each property is evaluated on baseline soil-organic-carbon measurements, with improvement tracked via third-party auditors. The resulting verified carbon credits are sold through registries including Verra and the Climate Action Reserve — generating an income stream that can reach $50–$120 per acre annually on fully transitioned ground, according to industry pricing benchmarks observed in the 2022–2024 period. Reseed operates from San Francisco with an investment team drawn from farmland private equity, agronomy, and carbon-market structuring backgrounds. All property management is outsourced to regional farm operators selected through a formal RFP process; Reseed retains direct ownership of the underlying real estate and carbon rights. The firm is not known to have publicly disclosed total deployment or professional headcount. No philanthropic foundation or adjacent member network appears in the public record. Reseed occupies a structural position that is uncommon in climate-aligned agriculture: it is a pure-play carbon-transition farmland manager, with neither a commodity-only private equity mandate nor a technology-venture strategy. This singularity creates both sourcing advantage — sellers see a buyer who understands soil-carbon optionality — and liquidity risk, since exit for any given property depends on proving a premium valuation for the accumulated carbon asset alongside the underlying land value.
