Boston, United States Freight Farms Full time

Director of Hardware Engineering About Us

Freight Farms is a long-time Ag Tech leader and we were the first to build a farm inside a shipping container. Unlike a traditional farm, our plants grow vertically indoors without soil, getting their nutrition from water and light from powerful and efficient LEDs. The result is a system that operates independently from land, climate, and season with the power to bring local food production directly to you, no matter where you are in the world.
