Permanent-planting valuation experience involving multigenerational farmland, commercial muscadine vineyards, biological inventory, and agricultural land.

Six generations of farmingCommercial muscadinesLand + biological inventory

Representative experience

Understanding the operation behind the asset.

The assignment

AgValue’s experience with commercial vineyard properties requires an understanding of the complete agricultural asset—not simply acreage or building area. The scope can encompass land, specialized improvements, supporting infrastructure, production systems, and relevant machinery and equipment.

The valuation perspective

The valuation considers how the physical components function together, the market for continued agricultural use, and the evidence appropriate to the assignment. This integrated approach gives owners, lenders, investors, fiduciaries, and legal professionals a clear and supportable view of value.

Project profile

Paulk Vineyards

A pioneering muscadine operation

The Paulk family’s agricultural history spans six generations. After cotton declined in the 1970s, Jacob Paulk planted muscadine grapes and helped develop both the commercial muscadine market and value-added dietary products.

Permanent plantings and inventory

AgValue worked with the family to value a portion of the overall enterprise, including sections of the muscadine vineyards, related inventory, and substantial portions of the underlying land.

A long-term agricultural asset

The assignment required analysis of land, plantings, maturity, production potential, and the relationship between the vineyard and the broader operating business.

Property, production, infrastructure, and market.
