Homestead Capital is a San Francisco–headquartered farmland investment platform that acquires and manages agricultural assets across the United States. Founded by Daniel Little and Gabe Santos—both with over 19 years of investment and agriculture experience—the firm employs value-add strategies focused on crop diversification, infrastructure improvements, and risk management. Homestead has raised approximately $1.6 billion in committed capital across four funds, managing roughly 120,000 crop acres and over 160 transactions spanning the Pacific, Pacific Northwest, Mountain West, Delta, and Midwest regions. The firm partners with institutional investors including pension funds, endowments, foundations, insurance companies, and family offices, targeting inflation-resistant, stable returns through direct farmland ownership. Its investment approach centers on on-the-ground market intelligence, rigorous due diligence covering water, soil, and commodity risks, and sustainable farming practices that enhance both yields and ecological integrity.
