Vine Capital Group

Vine Capital is a family office and private equity firm with a specialized focus on the global food and agriculture sector. The firm is dedicated to investing in businesses that contribute to making safe, affordable, and nutritious food a global reality. They primarily target the "hidden middle" of the food and agriculture supply chain, seeking to strengthen and build resilience within this critical segment. Vine Capital provides flexible equity, including buyouts and long-term majority interests, for founder/family-owned growth equity, recapitalizations, and corporate divestitures.

The firm's legacy is rooted in over four generations of family involvement in agriculture, with more than 40 years of experience in growing businesses across the food and agriculture supply chain. This deep-seated history informs their investment philosophy, which emphasizes a long-term perspective, stewardship, and a collective orientation towards creating "true" value that encompasses both economic and personal significance for all stakeholders.

Vine Capital's portfolio includes a diverse range of companies within the food and agriculture ecosystem. Notable brands associated with the firm include Keuka Spring Vineyards, Carnivore Club, My Pet Carnivore, Montgomery Meats, Bridgeway Holdings, Hatch for Hunger, and EDGE Mentoring. PitchBook specifically highlights My Pet Carnivore as one of their investments within the Consumer Non-Durables industry.

The firm leverages an Executive Partner Group, comprised of best-in-class executives and industry leaders from the food and agriculture sector. These partners bring extensive experience from leading some of the world's largest and most well-known companies in the industry, supporting Vine Capital's core team in deal sourcing, evaluation, and post-investment value creation.
