Sustainable Agriculture Opportunity Zone Fund
Accepting investments!
What is an Opportunity Zone Fund?
The federal government’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 established Qualified Opportunity Zone provisions to stimulate economic development. These provisions provide potentially significant tax benefits to investors who re-invest capital gains into long-term investments in QOZs.
Why invest in an Opportunity Zone Fund?
The KrogerFarms Sustainable Agriculture Opportunity Zone Fund invests to create a positive impact to the agricultural industry across economically disadvantaged regions of the United States and provide investors with tax-favorable risk-adjusted returns in non-correlated assets. The fund’s investment objective is to achieve tax-advantaged capital appreciation in production agricultural projects that are economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable.

Old Market Greens growing towers
The fund has already deployed capital into Gather Omaha, a newly opened restaurant with a vertical hydroponic farm in the basement. Old Market Greens produces fresh leafy greens and herbs for the restaurant, direct to consumer sale, and local Community Supported Agriculture distributors 365 days a year. The farm uses 95% less water than traditional field grown agriculture, with zero pesticides or run-off.
