Welcome to Expedition Ag Partners

Investing in the Future of American Agriculture

Expedition Ag is a private equity firm purpose-built to partner with the people who grow, move, and feed the world. We are an evergreen investment platform focused exclusively on middle-market agribusinesses along the agricultural value chain.

Rooted in St. Louis, Guided by Legacy

Founded by Hermann Capital Holdings (Robert (Bob) R. Hermann, Jr.) and Creekside Capital Partners (Mike DeCamp), Expedition Ag draws strength from its home base in St. Louis—a hub of agricultural trade and innovation. Just as the Lewis & Clark Expedition began its journey west from here, we launch ours with a pioneering spirit and a commitment to helping ag entrepreneurs explore new frontiers.

One of our founders, Bob Hermann, is a direct descendant of William Clark, and our name pays tribute to both this legacy and the bold spirit of exploration that defines American agriculture.

A Strategic Location at the Heart of Ag

Situated in the geographic and economic center of U.S. agriculture, we benefit from proximity to farmland, industry-leading institutions, and a deep talent pool. Our St. Louis roots offer a distinct advantage—enabling us to build stronger, longer-lasting partnerships across the ag value chain.

Our Focus:

Strong Operators and Growth-Ready Businesses

We partner with founders, families, and operators who are ready to take their businesses to the next level. Whether you’re planning for generational transition, strategic growth, or long-term sustainability, Expedition Ag brings capital, operational experience, and a deep understanding of agricultural markets.

Why We're Different:

Evergreen Structure: We’re not bound by short-term fund cycles—allowing us to grow alongside our partners for the long haul.
Middle Market Focus: We specialize in the segment overlooked by large ag investors and underappreciated by traditional lower middle-market PE firms.
Deep Industry Experience: Our team brings decades of operating and investing experience from both global ag leadership roles and entrepreneurial ventures.

Let’s Grow Together!

If you’re a founder, family, or operator in the ag space ready to strengthen your legacy and explore new possibilities, Expedition Ag is ready to be your partner.
