While visiting a farm investment in Central America in 2016, Chris Rawley, Founder and CEO of Harvest Returns, conceived the idea of building a crowdfunding platform to streamline agriculture investments. He soon founded Harvest Returns to bring that vision to reality. Not only does the platform bring investors passive investments in real assets that better connect them with our food system, but it also gives family farmers a way to raise capital to remain competitive in an industry that's often overlooked.
