As of September 9, 2026, Iroquois Valley Farmland REIT became Amber Farmland Investments.
Over nearly two decades, we have grown from a pioneering farmland REIT into a national leader in financing the transition to organic agriculture. Our new name reflects both who we are today and the future we are helping to build.
Since our founding in 2007, our mission has remained the same: partner with farmers to transition farmland from conventional to organic while delivering consistent financial returns to investors. As organic agriculture has grown and investor interest in real assets has expanded, we recognized that our name should better communicate the role we play in connecting investor capital with the farmers building the organic future.
Why Amber?
The name Amber is inspired by the “amber waves of grain” that have long symbolized the American agricultural landscape. For us, it represents thriving organic farmland, long-term stewardship of the land, and the stability that comes from investing with a long-term perspective.
While our name has changed, our roots remain firmly planted. We continue to honor the vision established by our co-founders, Dave Miller and Dr. Stephen Rivard, whose work began in Iroquois County, Illinois. Today, that vision has expanded into a nationwide network of organic farmland and farmer partnerships dedicated to building the organic future.
