Vital Farmland III, LLC is a California-based farmland investment vehicle filed by Vital Farmland GP3, LLC, Craig Wichner, and Mark Chedekel. This amended filing reports $110.0M raised from 581 investors with a $100K minimum investment. The entity is part of the Vital Farmland platform, which operates multiple farmland investment vehicles.

This farmland offering sits in the accessible institutional tier with a $100K minimum, typical for agriculture funds seeking accredited individual investors.
