2021: Freight Farms’ Annual Review
If 2020 was about navigating the unexpected, then 2021 was about thriving in spite of it.
From our farmers in the “field” to our team members at our headquarters here in Boston, MA, we are so proud of this year’s accomplishments. Between building farms amidst materials shortages; getting Greenery™ farms to new farmers despite major shipping delays; expanding to new territories and sectors; and growing new and delicious crops through crazy weather — our community did not just stand strong…
WE CRUSHED IT.
