Put your resources to work supporting a diverse collection of short-term bridge loans made to regenerative farms and food producers.
Raised to date
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.

Can I lend more than once to Steward Regenerative Capital?

Will the interest rate ever change?

How do I receive my monthly interest payments?

What transaction methods are available when lending capital?
You can transfer funds by ACH (direct debit), wire transfer, or pay with funds in your Steward Wallet.
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?
When you make a loan to Steward Regenerative Capital, you now have the option to enable Automatic Rollover.
