Freight Farms is an agriculture technology company based in Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 2010 by Jon Friedman and Brad McNamara. The company specializes in sustainable farming by transforming intermodal shipping containers into hydroponic farms. This innovative approach allows for year-round cultivation of various crops, including leafy greens, herbs, fruits, and vegetables, regardless of climate or location. The flagship product, the Leafy Green Machine (LGM), is a hydroponic growing system within a 40-foot shipping container, featuring LED lighting, automated irrigation, and climate control technology. Additionally, Freight Farms offers the Farmhand software platform for hydroponic farm management, helping farmers optimize operations and monitor conditions. The company has established a large connected network of hydroponic farmers, promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing. Freight Farms has installed over 600 container farms globally, serving individuals, educational institutions, corporate campuses, and traditional soil farmers. The company is dedicated to increasing food accessibility, reducing environmental impact, and promoting local food production. In September 2023, Freight Farms announced a business combination with Agrinam Acquisition Corporation, aiming for an initial public offering on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
