Farmland LP Fund III Certified as a COIN-Approved Investment Bulletin

Farmland LP is proud to announce that Vital Farmland III, LLC (Fund III) has been certified as a COIN-approved Investment Bulletin and is now listed on the COIN Impact Investment Marketplace. This certification expands Fund III’s visibility among institutional investors and insurers seeking strong financial returns with measurable environmental impact.

What is COIN?

Established in 1996, the California Organized Investment Network (COIN) encourages insurance companies to invest in underserved communities and socially responsible projects in California. Administered by the California Department of Insurance, COIN collaborates with asset managers to source and structure impact-driven investments for insurers and institutional investors. The COIN Investment Bulletin certification is awarded to a select group of investment funds that meet rigorous criteria aligned with COIN’s mission.

Since 2019, COIN-approved Investment Bulletins have raised over $8 billion from insurer investors, demonstrating the program’s ability to direct significant capital into impactful projects. Fund III is now part of this select group, strengthening its position as a leading investment opportunity in sustainable farmland and regenerative agriculture.

Why COIN Certification Matters for Fund III

This COIN certification provides several key advantages:

Greater visibility among institutional investors prioritizing ESG and sustainability.
Additional validation for Fund III, reinforcing investor confidence.
Expanded access to institutional capital, both from insurers on the COIN platform and beyond.

With a $250 million target raise, Fund III continues Farmland LP’s mission of transforming conventional farmland into organic and regenerative operations. Managing over 18,500 acres, Farmland LP acquires and improves high-quality farmland using sustainable farming practices that:

🌱 Enhance soil health through regenerative techniques.
🌾 Diversify crops to improve resilience and long-term profitability.
🚜 Integrate productivity and technology to create long-term value.

Institutional-Grade Sustainable Agriculture

“Fund III’s COIN certification reinforces what we’ve built at Farmland LP—an institutional-grade investment that delivers strong financial performance while advancing sustainable agriculture,” said Craig Wichner, Managing Partner at Farmland LP. “This designation strengthens our ability to attract institutional capital and scale regenerative farming as a profitable, climate-smart investment strategy.”

The COIN certification marks another milestone in Farmland LP’s commitment to sustainable agriculture, creating long-term value for both investors and the environment.
