Experienced Agribusiness Professionals

AGR Partners was founded in 2012 by partners committed to providing capital ideally suited to the food and agribusiness sector. The principals, all of whom were raised on family farms and agribusinesses, know that investing in agriculture requires a patient, partnership-based approach with company owners and management teams.

AGR’s purpose is to grow leaders and leading companies. Our team is focused on continuous learning and demonstrating the values of integrity, respect, relationship building, and good stewardship.
