Freight farms
Virtual OPEN HOUSE
You can’t come to us, so we’re coming to you…online!
Now more than ever it is clear that we need to have a safe and reliable food supply chain. So even though we can’t host our Greenery Tour and Farm Development Seminars, we wanted to provide you with all the same information, just at a safe distance!
Below you can find all the resources we typically share at our open house event, like our Greenery Farm Tour, Business Development Presentation, Introduction to Client Services, and Freight Farmer Meet & Greet. While this doesn’t make up for our face-to-face meetings, we hope it’s a good start. Please let us know if you’d like to set up a call to discuss your project.
