FarmPod

Feeding the world, one pod at a time. The FarmPod is the culmination of our research and development into innovative food production. The fish create waste.
(4)

The FarmPod is a vertical aquaponic food production system that is both off grid and automated. Our basic unit will produce 100+ pounds of fresh healthy organic produce a week utilizing an extremely small footprint (only 8’x20’ of land space!). The FarmPod is based on the proven aquaponics techniques but with a more advanced technology. Simply said, aquaponics creates a natural cycle between fish

and plants. Water is shared between the fish and plants. The waste is naturally broken down using healthy bacteria and then nutrient rich water is delivered to the plant roots, thus returning clean water to the fish.

• Grows twice as much food in a quarter the space
• Only uses 5-10 gallons of water per week producing 100+ of fresh produce a week
• Produces Mercury Free, Hormone Free, Antibiotic Free, Radiation Free, and GMO Free Fish
• The absolute minimum of your time is required. Simply fill the fish feeder, choose your plants and harvest your food all within the self-contained FarmPod.
• We incorporate biological redundancy in addition to a fully automated system that is self-feeding, self-adjusting, self-maintaining, with real time monitoring.
• The entire contents of the FarmPod are conveniently shipped to you in the 20’ shipping container that is the foundation of the pod.
• Rain catchment standard in every unit. Collects more water than it uses.
• Off grid pack available on every pod. (This means solar electric and solar radiant heat).

Just like all living organisms, as seeds age, their reproductive fitness is lowered until their potential yields are eventually rendered unviable. 🌱

Our latest R&D project is hoping to prove that FarmPod’s perfect growing conditions and specialized technology still allows old seeds to grow!🤓

The FarmPod will be entirely replanted with a variety of the seeds you see here, so stay tuned to see how much they sprout.☀️

This year’s Mango Melee event wasn’t just a time to have fun and eat delicious fruit, but also a time for local businesses to showcase their innovative product.
We were especially impressed by the work of , who manufactures awesome and practical designs like these from recycling plastics that could end up in a landfill!

Bold, beautiful, and comfortable, just like the island they were crafted on! 🏝

There are several types of fish that are commonly grown in aquaponics systems, including barramundi, catfish, crawfish and perch. Barramundi is our preferred choice because they are a high-ticket item that is hardy, fast-growing, and tolerant of a wide range of water conditions. Catfish are also popular choice due to their hardiness and adaptability, as well as their ability to consume a wide range of food. 🐟🌱🐠

It is important to carefully consider the type of fish used in an aquaponics system, as each species has different requirements for water temperature, pH levels, and nutrient needs. Additionally, fish must be properly cared for in order to ensure their health and well-being, including providing them with a balanced diet and maintaining proper water quality. 💧💙

To our fellow fish enthusiasts, what species do you find best to support your aquaponic system? And to our future FarmPod owners, what species do you look forward to raising in your vertical farm?

When it comes to ambitious global trends, did you know FarmPod already fits into several futuristic-farming categories? 🌎🤖🌱

1. Precision agriculture - Using technology to collect data and make informed decisions on planting, watering, and harvesting crops.
2. Sustainable agriculture - Adopting practices that reduce environmental impact.
3. Indoor farming - Utilizing controlled environments, such as greenhouses, to grow crops year-round, reduce water use, and minimize pest and disease issues.
4. Organic farming - Growing crops without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemicals.
5. Vertical farming - Building multi-level systems for growing crops in densely populated urban areas, using less land and reducing transportation costs.
6. Plant-based protein - An increased demand for alternative protein sources, as consumers seek out healthier, more sustainable food options.
7. Direct-to-consumer sales - The rise of farmers' markets and online platforms that allow farmers to sell their products directly to consumers, cutting out the middleman.

What are some of the benefits of growing food at home? 🌶🫑🍅
1. Freshness: Home grown food is often fresher and tastier than store-bought produce because it is picked at its peak ripeness.
2. Health: You have control over the growing process and can choose organic methods and avoid pesticides.
3. Savings: Growing your own food can save you money on groceries, especially if you grow fruits and vegetables that are expensive to buy in the store.
4. Environmentally friendly: Vertical farming reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation and storage of commercially grown produce.
5. Sense of community: Farming can be a social activity that brings people together, encouraging community building and a sense of belonging.

It’s that time of year again for the lovely island of St. Croix, aka FarmPod’s HQ home-base, to celebrate our annual AgFest.👩‍🌾 🇻🇮👩🏽‍🌾

Every year we collaborate with local schools to provide vertical towers to students which allows some of them for the first time ever, to grow their own food and show it off at the event. 🙋🏻‍♀️🥬🙋🏾‍♂️

Take a look at this year’s farmers of the future and their fantastic fresh produce. 👏

Life is too short not to stop and smell the flowers, but what if you could do this no matter the season?

We are pleased to work with innovators and creatives all around the world, and are especially excited to test the FarmPod’s flower (growing) power very soon with florist extraordinaire and entrepreneur, Jayme Cohn.

Take a look at our new and improved tank lids, designed and manufactured by our very own Chief engineering officer. What makes these lids better than the previous version? They have larger entrances into the tank that allow us to check on, catch, release and feed fish easier.

Through R&D we also found our metal hinges were susceptible to rust in high humidity, so we replaced them with this completely 3D printed, smooth, sleek and hinge-are style. Perhaps the best part- is it’s push to start, as in with a press of a finger the whole top folds back and therefore, no handle is required!

We believe its yet another Beecher masterpiece, tell us in the comments below if you agree!

Have you ever heard of the Eden Project? Recently, part of the FarmPod team had the chance to explore this Environmental Education Facility and learn the ways of their exemplary STEM learning framework.

Every day, the world’s largest indoor biome becomes a classroom for hundreds of students and teachers aiming to achieve a higher understanding of science, technology, and sustainability measures.

As FarmPod continues to expand our educational programs across the Caribbean and beyond, there is no doubt that we will carry forth some of the lessons learned from this inspirational institution.

Could you believe that some things actually grow too well in the FarmPod? But, with the most optimal growth settings possible, we can’t really blame the plants for wanting to make FarmPod their forever home.

RIP Butterfly Pea flowers, it was good while it lasted- until your roots tried to take over. 💙

Looking for an edible flower with delicious taste, delicate texture, and decorative blue tint to brighten up the holiday party? Look no further than the butterfly pea (aka Clitoria ternatea). 😉

Are you a teacher looking to bring more STEM opportunities to your school? 🧪

We love how many educators and academic institutions have been reaching out to us lately to learn more about aquaponics, hydroponics, and agricultural innovation. 🔬

It’s fascinating to hear ideas from these brilliant minds that push the limits of current technology. Here we have an example from our most recent tour, where Beecher and a local teacher were discussing the dimensions and possibilities of producing a salt water system. 🐠

The opportunities are truly endless, with Farmpod. 🌿

3D Printed Fish Feeder

Did you know that the highest economic and environmental costs associated with aquaculture systems come from fish feed? Good news, FarmPod helps solve that! Our custom printed fishfeeds are combined with automated monitors, so when the system reaches optimal nutrient levels it knows when to stop feeding. We also reduce emissions and our environmental impact by using a mix of plant based and invertebrate protein instead of wild fish in our feed, unlike many other aquaculture producers. When it comes to waste, FarmPod's clean water and healthy plants prove how- Less is truly More. ✅
