Diverse Producers, Perennial Yield, Endless Impact

Steward Regenerative Capital

Steward Regenerative Capital provides short-term bridge loans, giving regenerative farms and food producers swift access to the funds they need to keep growing.

Qualified lenders can support a diverse collection of farms, ranches, fisheries, and food producers by funding Steward Regenerative Capital. Simply choose your participation amount and receive a fixed 5.75% annual interest rate, paid monthly.



While direct, community-sourced loans fuel the long-term growth of regenerative farms, growers also face immediate, short-term financial needs that must be met to maintain continuous production or pursue time-sensitive opportunities (e.g., repairing a tractor, paying for feed and transport before livestock are processed, or purchasing equipment at auction).

Steward Regenerative Capital seeks to bridge this gap, supporting a suite of agricultural stewards in the critical period of preparation before embarking on a larger capital raise. This secured, semi-liquid lending opportunity is another way we can work together to propel regenerative agriculture forward.

  • Diversify your support by backing a collection of regenerative farms, ranches, fisheries, and food producers
  • Monthly payments with a fixed 5.75% interest (APR) through a 9-month loan
  • Lend with confidence that your loan is secured by Steward’s entire suite of short-term loans
  • Start lending today at $100, or fund up to $1 million

Why do I need to provide my personal information when lending to Steward Regenerative Capital?

Ensuring the security of financial transactions on our platform is of utmost importance here at Steward. In order to maintain strict privacy and safety standards, our payment facilitator must verify the identity of everyone who registers for a Steward payment profile by asking for such information as your Name, Address, Date of Birth (DOB), and Social Security Number (SSN) or Employer Identification Number (EIN).

This requirement ensures we comply with federal laws (like the US Patriot Act) and the requirements of the US Treasury Department and National Credit Union Association. Please don't be offended if we take extra steps to verify your account by asking for additional information, such as photo ID or documentation.


What is Steward Regenerative Capital's Automatic Rollover feature?
