The "Dirt"

We ❤️ NY and Go Big Red ! Thank you Deputy Secretary Pat Hooker, Dean Benjamin Houlton of Cornell, and Associate Dean Julie Suarez for spending your afternoon on the world’s leading Regenerative SmartFarm in Sackets Harbor, NY We appreciate Governor Cuomo's leadership and support in agriculture, renewable energy, and economic development and we look forward to increasing our interaction with Cornell University as we blaze the trail for a profitable, high-impact, high-tech mod

“Holy basil” is a powerhouse of a plant. Aromatic, pungent flavorful and packed with anti-inflammatory compounds. Tulsi has traditionally been used as a medicinal tea for respiratory and other relief. We grow it right here in Sackets Harbor - local, organic, regenerative - good for people and good for the planet. Try some. #goodhealthy #smartfarm #local #organic #restorative #sustainable #superfood #organicfarm #automated #machinelearning #AI #nongmo #chemicalfree #knowyourfa

You can help make your community more sustainable and improve the climate by supporting Regenerative Agriculture. This is how we farm.

Kiah and I attended a webinar about Women in Agriculture and it’s clear - women have an important role in agriculture. We comprise 43% of the agriculture workforce, while working significantly longer hours than men for a fraction of the pay and credit. We are also far more likely to represent the household in the grocery store - actually buying the food we help grow. When the world invests in empowering women, the world becomes a better place. Accomplishing this starts with g

Our GoodHealthy® tender beetroots with greens are earthy-sweet with a forest aroma. It’s impossible to match the quality and nutrient profile for this soil-grown superfood. Since we grow them on our SmartFarms, they can be yours to enjoy 365 days a year. Perfect for smoothies, salads and sautés 😋 #goodhealthy #superfood #nongmo #chemicalfree #beetgreens #smartfarm #local #organic #restorative #sustainable #superfood #automated #machinelearning #knowyourfarmer #eatorganic #gr

Agbotic is committed to growing local and organic food and we are passionate about doing it in an environmentally restorative way. Our SmartFarms are 100% organic, inside and out. We grow organic plants that make people healthier, grown in a way that cleans the air, water and soil. We care. You can see it in the way we farm and you can taste it in our food. #goodhealthy #smartfarm #local #organic #restorative #sustainable #superfood #automated #machinelearning #AI #nongmo #ch

Meet Kiah (from a safe social distance of 7ft), one of our SmartFarm Operators at Agbotic. Kiah grew up on a longhorn cattle farm in Upstate NY. Her love and knowledge for agriculture is apparent by the way she nurtures her greenhouse. Her smile, hardwork, and positive attitude are ever-present and we are so happy to have her on our team. #goodhealthy #smartfarm #local #organic #restorative #sustainable #superfood #automated #machinelearning #AI #nongmo #chemicalfree #knowyou

We grow local and organic Tulsi - also known as “holy basil” in Ayurvedic practice which pursues health through creating mind, body, and spiritual balance. We only want to grow plants that can make people healthier and we will only grow them in a way that is in balance with nature. This plant is a power house and contains compounds that are believed to be anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and adaptogenic. It can be eaten fresh and is commonly used to make tea. We p

Forget about street cred. Our growers are bragging on beet cred. We are nerds about this stuff. Our new precision technology for organic agriculture is coming on strong. This picture shows a bed of new beets - in a perfectly formed row; that is perfectly, uniformly seeded; that is rapidly and fully germinated; and that has grown to 1” high in just under six days. It means that our SmartFarm performance is improving and we will work hard to keep these GoodHealthy organic beets

Soil is alive - There are more microorganisms in a handful of soil than there are people on earth. The soil biome is a complex delicate dynamic - evolved over millennia. It is the stomach of plants - and just like our own gut biome it manages nutrient breakdown - nutrient transfer across the root membrane - and manages the plant's immune system. Check out the robust root structures and root exudates {nerd alert: root exudates affect how well a plant can pull vital nutrients o

This is Gabriel, our most recent hire from Cornell University. He has a background in both plant and computer science and is working to advance our data and machine learning models. We are gathering high volumes of hyper-variate, high-resolution and DOE analysis. Soon, with the help of Gabriel and others at Cornell, our artificially intelligent greenhouses will be on auto-tuning, auto-pilot and telling us how to better farm and more efficiently use the plant's resources. We a

Our cutting-edge robotic greenhouses are embedded on real farms. We are 100% organic inside and out. We plant trees on our farms; establish wetlands; and grow wild flowers and milkweed. We protect habitat for insects, birds, bees, frogs, turtles, and monarch butterflies. We sequester carbon in the soil with biochar. Some people say that 80% of our healthcare issues can be prevented or cured by the way we eat. 80%! And Wendell Berry reminds us that eating is an agricultural ac

Women make up less than 20% of US tech jobs. Worse than that, just 13% of US farm principal operators are women, while the farm labor force is about 30% female. The average age of US farmers is now around 58 years old. Agbotic deploys automation that opens doors and levels the playing field; empowering more women to farm and engaging a young and talented work force to operate the Smart Farms of the future.
