Almond Investments & Farmland Investment

As a great way to generate income, Almond orchards provide long-term capital gains, tax benefits and a significant increase in equity. Almonds pay for orchard operational costs as well as typically providing investors an 8% return rate.

There is an advantage to investing in Almonds. Mortgages of 60% or less are reduced or liminated over a 15-year timespan. This means that we are returning an even higher profit to our investors. Since farmland value increases over time, that appreciation acts as a hedge for inflation. Moreover, Almond trees and Irrigation Systems are depreciable assets.

Shortages in agricultural land for growing Almonds ensures that your investment will increase in value over time. The Central Valley of California is the world center for farming Almonds. To be successful, an orchards success is contingent on size, age and access to water. Over the last few years, land with a sustainable water supply has seen a compelling increase in value.

A thorough understanding of water supply is crucial to success in farming Almonds. The key is to have comprehensive knowledge of water rights since the orchard must have an adequate water supply. We invest in land with sustainable and secure water supplies. Our properties will typically have two independent sources of water. Those can be from surface and ground water supplies. More than likely, properties purchased by Crawford Park will be in an irrigation district plus have access to ground water via wells.

In the last decade, the demand for Almonds has doubled. From Almond Milk to Almond Butter, the demand for sustainable protein options has put Almonds on the forefront of the health-conscious world.

Almonds are a key ingredient in eating well. They’re healthy alternatives for those with special dietary needs. In the last few years, Almond revenue has surpassed grapes. That makes Almonds California’s number one crop export. Almond demand is strongest in the U.S, however, in the last year, a billion pounds was exported to more than 90
countries.

The world’s population is growing rapidly which creates a demand for protein-rich foods. Places like India and China are a driving factor in the demand for protein such as Almonds. Since Almonds are a low-fat protein option, they’re in high demand among the vegetarian community and health enthusiasts.

Stock market fluctuations and economic indicators do not influence Almonds. Consequently, Almond investments are a “Non-Correlated Asset” to the typical stock market investment. Almonds typically have stable returns with the potential for capital appreciation and diversification benefits. The essential building blocks required to grow
Almonds are water, sun, proper soil and climate which is less complicated than most stock market investments.

Investing in Almond farming offers some unique benefits and advantages.

Almond-farming is a stable market, so there are few outside investors saturating the market. The typical Almond tree grows for 20-25 years, thus increasing its yield and value over time. Almond farming is a labor-efficient investment. Typical farms have roughly 80 acres and they only require 2-3 people to maintain and harvest the Almonds.
Investing in Almond farming is good for the environment. Growers adhering to sustainable agricultural practices are enhancing the value of the land.

Sourcing, purchasing, and producing Almond crops as partnerships with accredited investors is Crawford Park’s specialty. Our target properties, farm managers and farm improvements are meant to maximize returns. We also manage real estate for our investors who have invested through retirement plans, pension accounts, family partnerships, and individual accounts.
