The Fort Worth Press - Gladstone Land Announces Gain on Sale of Two Florida Farms

"This property was acquired as a turn-key investment in 2015 through a purchase from a large landholder in Southwest Florida," said Brett Smith, Director of the Southeastern U.S. at Gladstone Land. "In June, we received an offer to purchase the property at a compelling valuation and elected to proceed with the sale. Florida remains an important market for us, as we still own over 10,000 acres dedicated to the production of fruit, vegetables, and sod."

"Our strategy is generally to buy and hold properties for the long term; however, we are willing to listen to offers for our farms if the price is right and we believe it to be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders," said David Gladstone, President and CEO of Gladstone Land. "With interest rates remaining high, we continue to explore alternative options with certain of our farms, including some strategic sales."
