About

Below you will find a webinar recording with the Avenue Living Agricultural Land Trust. This Trust buys Saskatchewan farmland which is then rented to farm operators for cash rent. This exposes the investor to farmland ownership and the potential for capital appreciation. Saskatchewan farmland has grown at 10-year average compounded growth rate of 11.3% since 2009*.

Avenue Living Agricultural Land Trust was founded in December of 2016. It currently manages over 45,000 acres of farmland valued at approximately $80M. The Trust is part of the Avenue Group of Companies that together comprise over $2.1B in AUM.
