Freight Farms announces new container farm

Freight Farms has announced the Greenery, the successor to the Leafy Green Machine (LGM). According to a press release, the Greenery offers farmers 70 percent more growing space than the LGM in the same 320-square-foot container. 

The Greenery features a mobile rack system that allows growers direct access to every plant, 70 percent more growing space than the LGM and rigid LED panels that replace rope lighting in the LGM. It also has a climate control system that reduces moisture. 

According to the press release, each farm is outfitted with sensors that relay all climate, component and camera data to farmhand, Freight Farms' digital platform that allows growers to monitor their farms remotely via a smartphone, tablet or computer.

The Greenery retails for $104,000 and is currently available for pre-sale.
