Invest in
healthy farms

Since 2021, Shire has invested in world-class Canadian farms producing truly health food products

Scarce, Productive Land

Our portfolio is focused on the most productive regions in Canada, where premium orchard properties are scarce. Each location is chosen for its enduring agricultural capacity and long-term security of natural resources.

Healthy Farms

Our mission is simple, accelerate the adoption of healthy and sustainable foods. We believe the next decade of value creation in agriculture will be driven by growing global demand for healthy and sustainable produce.

Growing Partners

Shire has partnered with leading growers in each vertical. We invest in farmland improvements that strengthen both ecological health and financial durability, creating aligned incentives between nature, growers, and investors.

Shire targets attractive returns through investments in scarce, productive real assets. Our portfolio includes premium orchard, berry and honey operations – sectors underpinned by growing global demand for healthy and sustainable foods.
