POULTRY FARM SOURCINGSuccessful poultry operations start with smart farm sourcing. We evaluate farms based on date operation was constructed, availability of multiple integrators, public water backup, labor access, zoning, and other utility infrastructure access. These variables can significantly impact long-term operational performance and resale value. Our team conducts GIS mapping, local policy analysis, and environmental assessments to determine suitability. We work closely with growers, integrators, and local governments to anticipate regulatory changes or development incentives that might affect the farm's future. By combining local insights with national data trends, we help investors and new farm buyers avoid costly mistakes. We ensure the selected structures and site meet both operational needs and long-term investment goals—whether for a family-owned expansion or a large-scale corporate acquisition.
-
DUE DILIGENCE MANAGEMENTBuying a poultry farm is not like buying any other asset. Our due diligence process covers real estate, equipment, insurance, contract status with integrators, environmental compliance, and historical performance of the poultry houses. We create a comprehensive diligence checklist and coordinate with equipment companies, engineers, integrators, insurance providers, appraisers, attorneys, and lenders to ensure a smooth closing. Our experience allows us to anticipate roadblocks and reduce the time between LOI, contract, and closing. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a family office doing hundreds of deals per year, our diligence support ensures no surprises after closing. This reduces risk and builds trust between buyers, sellers, and third-party stakeholders.
-
PRIVATE EQUITY STRUCTURINGFor institutional investors, poultry farms offer stable, long-term cash flow without commodity risk. We help private equity funds and family offices create vehicles for ownership, operation, or pre-IPO. This includes financial modeling, JV agreements, and identifying local operators with aligned incentives. We ensure that deal terms protect investor capital while empowering farm-level execution. By combining Wall Street-level strategy with boots on-the-ground agricultural expertise, we de-risk investments and build scalable portfolios. Our team has closed deals with both institutional LPs and mom-and-pop sellers, making us uniquely fluent in both worlds.
-
ACQUISITION PIPELINE DEVELOPMENTFinding profitable farms is half the battle. We maintain a proprietary pipeline of off-market poultry farms across key producing regions in the U.S. Through long-term grower relationships and market analytics, we stay ahead of the curve. We help investors and operators build and manage deal funnels, filter by geospatial attributes, housing specs, and move quickly when the right opportunity arises. Our database includes property details, production histories, and seller motivations. For corporate buyers looking to scale, this means faster acquisition cycles and better long-term value. For family offices, it means more control over geography, risk exposure, and exit timing.
-
FINANCIAL MODELINGWe develop custom-built financial models that account for the nuances of poultry operations. These models factor in capex, opex, integrator contracts, financing terms, and flock grow-out revenue fluctuations. For buyers, our models help underwrite deals with a clear picture of IRR, DSCR, and breakeven scenarios. For sellers, we model exit strategies and the likely investor return profile, which helps drive optimal pricing and timing decisions. More than just spreadsheets, our models become strategic tools. They give investors confidence, streamline lender approvals, and help owners align operations with long-term financial benchmarks.

LEGACY PLANNINGMany poultry growers are at the retirement phase of life. For them, selling isn’t just a transaction—it’s a transition. We help poultry growers preserve wealth, minimize tax exposure, and transition into alternative investments such as timber farms, multi-family apartments, condos, NNN commercial real estate investments, or other poultry farms. We work with attorneys and CPAs to structure deals using installment sales, trusts, or 1031 exchanges when appropriate. Our approach balances emotional priorities with financial ones, ensuring sellers walk away feeling respected and financially rewarded. Our approach makes us a preferred partner for sellers who not only want to complete the transaction but prefer additional guidance through the transition into their replacement asset. Our ability to blend empathy with financial acumen is a key differentiator in a market filled with one-and-done real estate brokerages.
