Research & Reports

Decision-Grade Intelligence
for Food & Agriculture

The same research, benchmarking, and financial modeling that drives our M&A transactions — now available as standalone paid engagements for owners, investors, lenders, and family offices.

Vertical Deep-Dives on
Food & Ag Markets

Focused research reports on specific food and agriculture verticals — from permanent crops and dairy to processing, cold chain, and consumer brands. Each report combines public data, our proprietary transaction experience, and on-the-ground Central Valley perspective into a document you can act on.

Ideal for buyers evaluating a new vertical, lenders underwriting ag credit, and owners who want to understand where their industry — and their valuation — is headed.

What's Included

  • Market structure, size, and supply/demand dynamics for the selected vertical
  • Recent M&A transaction activity and observed valuation benchmarks
  • Water reliability, SGMA, and regulatory outlook where relevant (California verticals)
  • Cost, pricing, and margin trends with commodity-cycle context
  • Outlook and key value drivers for owners, buyers, and lenders

Confidential Analysis of
a Single Company

A confidential, single-company report built for a specific decision: preparing for an eventual sale, evaluating an acquisition target, benchmarking performance against the vertical, or supporting a lending or investment decision.

We analyze the company's financials, position it against industry benchmarks from our transaction work, and deliver an indicative valuation range with the strategic context — who the likely buyers are, what they pay for, and what would move the number.

What's Included

  • Financial spread and normalization (revenue, margins, adjusted EBITDA)
  • Benchmarking against comparable food & ag operators
  • Indicative valuation range with methodology and key assumptions
  • Strategic positioning — strengths, risks, and value drivers
  • Likely buyer landscape and readiness observations for an eventual process

Purpose-Built Models for
Your Operation or Deal

Interactive financial models built specifically for your situation — an acquisition you're evaluating, an operation you're running, or a development you're planning. Built by the same team behind our Table Grape Vineyard, Permanent Crop, and Food Processing acquisition models.

Every model is interactive: adjust assumptions — yields, pricing, water costs, leverage, exit multiples — and watch returns, debt schedules, and cash flows update in real time. Delivered as a working tool you keep, not a static spreadsheet.

What's Included

  • Fully interactive model (LBO, pro forma, development, or returns analysis) tailored to your asset and vertical
  • Scenario and sensitivity analysis — commodity prices, yields, water, interest rates
  • Debt schedules, covenant checks, and financing structure options
  • Returns metrics: IRR, MOIC, cash-on-cash, and exit analysis
  • Walkthrough session and one round of revisions included
Custom Models
$4,500 starting at, per model

Pricing scales with complexity — single-asset models start at $4,500; multi-entity, multi-scenario platforms are quoted after a scoping call. Ongoing model maintenance available.
