Where did 2018 take us? Underground and overseas!
This year our farms went where no farms have gone before!
We went oversees to Vietnam, cross-country to Alaska, and even underground in the Caribbean! We also launched a brand new managed farming service, set a record for fastest sale (18 hours!), and performed a container farming first by transporting a growing farm to NYC for the Future of Everything Festival.
We hosted five open houses, gave 150+ private farm tours, and trained 80+ new farmers … good thing we also added seven new employees to the team to help out!
Some of our notable new customers included: Ford Motors and Cass Community, NBA player Ekpe Udoh and his non-profit, SEFCU, AppHarvest, and IDEA schools… it was amazing to see how these organizations are adding a modern twist to what it means to farm.
