LOVE THIS…. The two of you taught so well. I’m anxious to learn more and one day be part of this movement ~ a humanitarian project in our New Earth.
Thanks for the content... it helps to keep the dream alive. Keep growing and good luck.
Freightfarms was directly asked to supply ONE of their farms to an NGO in Ukraine and FreightFarms flatly refused and then cut all communication with the NGO.
The people running this company only care about growing their profits.
@Glitch0010 ...profits are the only thing I care about also. Not a Biden money laundering war. FJB
Definitely ready to apply for a loan to and a grant to get this started in my area
I love these two. They’re Rawesome
Great job friends. 🎉🎉🎉
great video !
What are your costs of operation, excluding loan payments? Who do you sell your produce to? (I presume a wholesaler and I would expect the prices you get for your product, varies with supply and demand) Do you do your own value added packaging ? Or do you hire a company to do it? What is your net per month? The high cost of financing and purchasing a unit seems prohibitive. What about insect control, mold, mildew, and fungal controls too? I like the idea and product. Just need more information on its viability as a business.
Search Freight Farms… you’ll learn all you need to know.
This company is listed in the description box for this video.
Happy Gardening. I’m thinking of doing this, (in some kind of way ~ once I’m healthy ~ as a community or school Humanitarian Project for Our New Earth.
How do I find an aquaponic education program in Southern California?
It sure is expensive one grow trailer 169,000 not including the extra cost of delivery set up and associated fees
I'm sure if you're that devoted into hydroponics you could build your own for a quarter of that price
This company IS NOT about solving hunger issues. It's pure for Profit, meaning if they can bilk people into dropping nearly $200000 they will.
But think of this? At that price point will people who need the food actually get it?
Short answer. No.
So I get on your website and it says 2-6 tons per year worth of crop. On what planet is that equivalent 2 -4 acres of production. Lettuce producion in California is about 1 lb per square foot per year. There are 43560 square feet in an acre. That puts your production at best one seventh of one acre.
Not all square feet are utilized in an acre trust me, there's pros and cons to both methods but in hydroponics plants grow much faster and can be high intensity production year round compared to traditional, there's a lot of potential for this to work and in a small area so be open minded it has great benefits for this method.
@@Solarpunk87 Correct when you said not all square feet are used for production. But with two crops a year, it still works out to that figure. Some California farms are trying for a three crop rotation. I am not saying the containrrs have no use cases. But I am saying it's WAY MORE than a LITTLE hyped.
@@pathfollower yeah your right two crops a year but year round production will beat that especially if they stack another on top utilize vertical space, like i said it's not an end all system and yeah it's not exactly as much as it's stated but it's still much more production than traditional, we need more research on this and I think it's still a great method.
😂😊
@Cyberneticfarmer Just want facts, not hype.
California 2022 ag report gives cwt per acre figure for 3 types of lettuce. The lowest one averaged over 11 tons per acre. The highest one averaged 16 tons per acre.
No bird poop on lettuce grown inside the freight farm.
Is this business lucrative? How much did they make for all of it? How much was the cost and how much was the profit? Thanks
"Have your clients lined up before setting up the farm"
Anyone, how much of that statement is true?
I think this guy might grow his "other" lettuce a little too well 🫡🥴
LoL there's no such thing 28yrs growing cannabis and have friends that been growing 10 -20 yrs longer then me and no1 ever says" that grow was to good better dail back the next 1" you always strive to get a better grow next round
