See how farmhand® works
Farmhand’s built-in features make vertical farming simpler and more straightforward than ever before. Forget needing a background in farming or a degree in agriculture — this farm automation software enables anyone to farm.
Designed in tandem with the Greenery™ S container farm to ensure seamless communication between hardware and software, farmhand® gives you confidence & control.
Experience 24/7 Farm Visibility & Control
Farmhand® gives you extensive automation and scheduling capabilities to streamline day-to-day farm operations. While the software manages all of the Greenery S systems, you can remotely monitor your farm through the easy-to-use app interface.
At-a-glance view
Your farmhand Dashboard instantly gives you a complete picture of what’s going on in your farm, showcasing current conditions in the container farm along with photos from in-farm cameras.
Convenient farm modes
Perform the most routine in-farm tasks — such as cleaning and calibration — without worrying about adjusting your settings. Simply select the farm mode and farmhand will automatically pause any on-going schedules so you can complete your tasks. Once you’re done, farmhand automatically returns settings to normal.
Remote control
Use farmhand to supervise the Greenery S from anywhere. Easy-to-view farm data and simple toggle controls make it easy to remotely turn farm components on and off, all from the comfort of your home, office, or poolside lounge chair.
Alerts & notifications
In the event of an unscheduled event or errant sensor reading, farmhand will send you a notification, at which point you can view all of the real-time data through the app and make adjustments as necessary.
Achieve Consistent Crop Quality & Quantity Every Week
Based on desired yields, flavor profiles, efficiency metrics, and more, the farmhand® seed to sale software prepares the ultimate crop schedule and farm settings (recipes) to ensure you meet your goals. Since farmhand learns by aggregating data from the global Freight Farms network, it gets smarter with the addition of every new farm — and so do you!
Recipes
Recipes are the complete automation package. Simply input the crop type you are growing and farmhand takes care of the rest. As the farmer network grows, so will the number of recipes, allowing you to program new crops, flavors, and colors, better nutrition, and more. Current recipes include our most popular crop types: Spring Mix, Lettuce, Herbs, and Flowers
Crop Scheduling
Farmhand makes crop scheduling intuitive by visualizing the entire process and guiding you through each step with user-friendly interactive modules. As you plan your crops, farmhand automatically does all the necessary calculations and adapts farm modes to ensure the healthiest plants.
Gain Full Clarity into Your Operations
Farmhand® demystifies the process of growing healthy plants. Track your farm with billions of data points from farm sensors and an automatically updated user farm log and manual inputs to understand the relationships between in-farm conditions, yields, and energy efficiency.
Farm Activities Log
In addition to the Greenery S and your crops, there’s a third important variable in the success of your operations…you! The Activity Log captures every time a change is logged in the farmhand app by someone on the account. This helps you track everything that’s taking place in the farm to streamline team communications and schedules while also avoiding mistakes caused by simple human error.
Yield Tracking
The first step in optimizing your yields is to compile data! This is the only data that needs to be entered manually as you harvest. You can then compare your harvests over time and in conjunction with other farm data to see if certain settings generate higher yields.
Farm Data Analysis
Farmhand aggregates sensor data to reconstruct historical farm conditions, identify trends, and provide you with a clear view of past operations so you can better predict and optimize future ones.
Performance Tracking
Performance isn’t just about yields — farmhand also gives you insight into how efficient your operations are when it comes to water and electricity usage. This is key in measuring the sustainability of your overall system.
