START CONTAINER FARMING

"Our agriculture students have benefited greatly from the container farm. Being in an area with limited space for a greenhouse or garden; the container farm provides a place for students to build upon the foundations we set inside the classroom. Getting to see my students demonstrating their knowledge in the farm makes me one proud agriculture teacher."

"The ability for us to use the Greenery to create an environment that is conducive for growing food in all seasons, especially in for a place like Kodiak, is huge. Now, while we can’t feed everyone on the island, we can certainly help provide many, many families with [food] access … something that can add nutritional value to what they’re putting on their table."

"I want to be that resource for those chefs. 'Hey Hamilton, we've got a plate coming up,' or 'I've got a dish idea coming up and we're looking for this flavor profile or this texture or this shape, this color, this size.' That's where I'm feeling that I can provide this expertise to them. That all originates with having those conversations with them."

"If you're starting out, if you don't have an extensive background in agriculture, there's no easier way than getting into that hydroponic system to start out. It's super user-friendly and it's super easy, super consistent, and you can just get that stuff going with very little background experience, and especially with what Freight Farms offers — their [farmhand] Community, all of the information, all of the access to answers to your questions that you need is right there. There's always someone on the other end of the line to answer your call when something goes wrong."
