If you like the idea of supporting our farmers – and making money whilst you do it – IIF is for you. IIF operates as a member-based co-operative.
We find opportunities for our members. You’re totally free to take up any offer that appeals to you. The IIF app gives you access to high growth assets you can’t get anywhere else.
IIF is share farming for the digital age. You bring the capital, and a farmer brings the expertise. The IIF app connects you to farmers wherever each of you is located.
Backing our farmers couldn’t be easier.
A dozen oysters, watermelon, beef, beans. This isn’t a shopping list. It’s an investment portfolio.
We’ve partnered with farmers right around the country (and NZ) to bring unique livestock, broadacre, horticulture and aquaculture deals to IIF members.It’s a win-win partnership that reduces financial risk for farmers and delivers ‘profit with purpose’ for investors.
“What an amazing initiative, I actually feel like a farmer.
There’s a bit of an adrenaline rush when something new comes on the marketplace. We currently have 22 holdings. Over 12 months, nine have come to maturity and we’ve received some really great returns! We’ve also had one loss, but that’s ok. There’s something exciting about going on the journey with the farmer, helping them out when times are tough, and sharing the reward when there’s a good return from their crops.”

Seasonality is part of the fun, and the reality, of farming. You’re not investing in stocks or bonds, you’re growing real agricultural assets, with real farmers. That means supply is limited and availability is seasonal.
The reason you don’t see mangoes in the supermarket in winter is simple, different produce is grown in different seasons. Winter crops are sown between March and May, and livestock farmers tend to make stocking decisions in Autumn and Spring. So if the marketplace looks a little quiet sometimes, don’t worry, it’s just the natural rhythm of farming.
Think of your IIF membership as a year-long harvest pass. You’ve got 12 months to build your dream pocket farm, it might not look like much on day one, but like any good crop, it takes time to grow.
Co-operatives have been around for ages. There’s a good chance that your milk is produced by a co-op.
The Invest in Farming Co-operative Ltd (IIF Coop) is owned by its members. As a member, you get the chance to participate in our regular share farming opportunities.
We’ll let members know when a farmer has a new crop or product available. You choose if you want to purchase that offer or not.
There’s a modest annual fee. And that’s it. Once you’re in, you’re ready to go.
There are a few need-to-knows before you jump in and start growing your farm. Share your details below and we’ll fill you in.
