Our Mission

 

With a successful farming operation at our very heart, we combine our reverence for traditional agriculture with comprehensive research and an intimate knowledge of modern farming techniques to better manage assets and build informed, intelligent investment strategies.

Summit Agricultural Group utilizes a principled approach in all that we do.

“As an entrepreneur in farming, renewable energy and investments, I’m fortunate to have spent a lifetime doing what I love. However, I’m most proud of what we have built with Summit Agricultural Group. We offer a thorough understanding of the agricultural landscape and communicate our findings with honesty and integrity so you can be confident that your investments will remain viable for generations to come.”
