Bonnefield

Canada’s foremost provider of land-lease financing for farmers

Bonnefield is dedicated to preserving farmland for farming across Canada. Founded in 2009 to address a growing need in the farm community, they have quickly grown to become the leading institutional investor in Canadian farmland with CAD$1.5 Billion under management. Owner of more than 135,000 acres across four private funds, Bonnefield invests in portfolios of high-quality farmland. Primarily through sale-leasebacks with leading farmers, Bonnefield works to ensure that these multigenerational farmers maintain control of operations, while investors benefit from annual rental income and capital appreciation.  Diversification is achieved by investing across numerous farming regions with differing agricultural characteristics and risks, Sustainability factors, and exposure to both different farmers and crops. In 2023, Bonnefield began to invest in businesses across the food value chain, taking advantage of their vast network. Providing structured capital to experienced owner-operators, they further their presence in this attractive sector. Both of these Canadian based strategies should act as a natural hedge to both our changing climate and inflation.
