Cattle Operation Raises Over Half Million Dollars via Harvest Returns' Crowdfunding Platform
FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackdirt Farm Management, LLC, a grass-fed cattle operation in Georgia, announced today that it has successfully completed a capital raise totaling $510,000. The asset-backed note was successfully closed on Harvest Returns' crowdfunding platform.
With the capital raised, Blackdirt's team will grow by approximately 100 percent within the next 12 months as additional farmland assets come into production. The company is set to more than double acreage in grass-fed beef production by the end of 2019. The expansion includes over 1,000 acres of grazing farmland in the Southeast that will transition into grass-fed beef production.
"We are very pleased with the results of our partnership with Harvest Returns, as it provided access to a base of investors outside Blackdirt's existing network, and proved to be an effective platform for raising capital," said David Nicola, CEO of Blackdirt Farms. "We look forward to working with the Harvest Returns team again in the future."
Changing consumer tastes and preferences are driving demand in the organic grass-fed beef market.
"We're excited to support Blackdirt's rapidly growing grass-fed livestock operation," said Chris Rawley, Harvest Returns' CEO. "Blackdirt and other innovative producers are increasingly choosing crowdfunding as a way to raise capital to expand their farms and ranches."
