2026 Area One Update with Joelle Faulkner

Marshall McAlister welcomes back Joelle Faulkner, CEO & Co-Founder of Area One Farms, to unpack how Area One works with Canadian farm families, helps to expand farm operations, and creates a path for younger generations to return to the farm.

You’ll discover:

• How Fund 4 and Fund 5 are structured, where they are invested, and why Fund 5 is intentionally overweight in Ontario

• Why land improvement work in Northern Ontario has become a meaningful part of the strategy

• How Ontario grants and government support can flow directly into fund returns

• Why tariffs on canola and other basic commodities have been far less disruptive than the headlines suggest

• What weather, fertilizer pricing, and the Iran war have actually meant for farm economics

• Why Joelle believes Canadian farmland remains compelling for long-term ownership

If you have ever wondered why investors are starting to look at farmland, this conversation is essential listening.
