We recognize that the recent news about the bankruptcy filing by Freight Farms has resulted in a lot of discussion and speculation. We respectfully acknowledge the many years of hard work that their employees, stakeholders and customers put into finding a more sustainable path to produce healthy food. Freight Farms played a significant role in developing some of the first automated modular farm systems and putting the industry on the map.
Even with big changes in our sector, we firmly believe the future of our company and the controlled-environment agriculture industry is sound. FarmBox Foods has been a privately funded company since our inception in 2017, and that has allowed us to put the customer first.
We’ve spent considerable time aligning our operations with our core values: a relationship with each customer through the life of their farm, quality craftsmanship, user-friendly design, and a focus on helping feed communities. This model has proven resilient, and our commitment to supporting customers through high-quality service and solutions remains unchanged.
We’ve also followed an intentional and measured strategic growth plan that has served us well. We’ve continued to innovate and introduce new product lines, including a Gourmet Mushroom Farm that is a strong profit center for customers.
We’ve always considered Freight Farms an industry peer and we’re grateful for their contributions to advancing a technology that will continue to have positive real-world impacts for years to come.
