We are honored to share that Bramble Run has been featured in Forbes, in a story written by Andrew Watman that captures not just what we are building, but why.
The article tells the story of Bramble Run's partnership with Lucerne Capital Management to raise Rubicon, our inaugural $500 million fund targeting a pipeline of approximately $5 billion in US farmland. It highlights the family roots at the heart of this platform: Frank Austin and Eamonn Austin, who grew up visiting their family's corn fields in Illinois and carry that generational connection to the land into everything they do today. The name Bramble Run itself comes from the family's history, used for homes, farms, and apiaries across generations.
"We're trying to tell the story that regenerative is more profitable. This is about returning value to the community."
The Forbes piece also speaks to our structure and our purpose. Bramble Run is not a traditional land fund. We do not lease farms back to the families who have worked them for generations. We partner with them, preserve their equity in their operating companies, and work alongside best-in-class managers like Agriglobe to transition productive land toward Regenerative Organic Certification, while ensuring farmers are rewarded for the hard work they do.
Being recognized by Forbes for this work is a proud moment for our entire team. It affirms that a disciplined, farmer-first, operationally grounded approach to agricultural investing has a place and an audience in the institutional market. We are grateful to Andrew Watman for telling this story with such care, and to all of our partners and investors who share this vision with us.
