About Central Valley AG Partners
Central Valley AG Partners is a real estate operator headquartered in Newport Beach, CA. Central Valley AG Partners operates in Bakersfield, California and Fresno, California. Its investment focus is on Agriculture.
Central Valley Ag Partners (CVAP) is a private agricultural real estate investment and farming company headquartered in Newport Beach, California, with a regional operations footprint focused on California’s Central Valley. Founded in 2016, the firm has built a 10-year track record of sourcing, developing, and managing institutional-grade permanent crop farmland. CVAP focuses its investment strategy on acquiring premium acreage suited for high-value tree nuts, primarily almonds and pistachios, with selective secondary allocations dedicated to citrus, wine grapes, and organic melons. The enterprise addresses agricultural water security by concentrating its asset acquisitions within well-established, high-priority federal and state irrigation districts. This strategic risk-management model ensures reliable water access and stabilizes crop yields across a portfolio encompassing more than 7,000 acres of active farmland. CVAP operates via a vertically integrated platform, meaning its founding team internally executes the full property and crop lifecycle. This internal oversight spans early site selection and land assembly, specialized orchard development, advanced irrigation engineering, seasonal harvesting, and final crop marketing and sales. The firm's expanding asset roster consists of at least 11 dedicated CVAP Ranch entities alongside additional properties managed under specialized operating structures, such as the W4 through W6 ranches and the JH Farm Management framework. These individual properties span a wide geographic and physical scale, ranging from boutique 3-acre parcels up to massive, contiguous 1,426-acre production raches. The entire network is directly supported by premium water allocations from key regional entities, including the Westlands, San Luis, James, Arvin-Edison, and Firebaugh Canal irrigation districts. Through this institutional management framework, CVAP positions Central Valley tree nut farmland as a durable, inflation-hedging real asset engineered to deliver long-term capital appreciation paired with consistent, commodity-driven cash flow.
