Farm.One Grows in Brooklyn

1h 6m · Tech Bites · 12 Jul 23:23

We first met Farm.One founder Rob Laing in 2016 on episode 145. Farm.One opened in Tribeca growing rare herbs, edible flowers, micro greens, and other exotic produce year-round for chefs and restaurants, using hydroponics and LED lighting. Episode 240 covers 2020, the global pandemic, and Farm.One’s pivot into delivering freshly-harvested greens to New York subscribers by bike and their move to a larger farm in Brooklyn. On this episode of Tech Bites, host Jennifer Leuzzi talks to Rob Laing, Founder and CRO, and Derek Pitts, Chairman and CEO, about how Farm.One has expanded and evolved into a neighborhood farm now serving chefs, members, and the community with fresh greens, farm tours, and classes.
