Company Summary

The Farmery is an urban farming and retailing system that consolidates the food system by growing and selling the food at the same site. By consolidating the growing and retail systems, the Farmery raises the value of the products it produces by selling them in a stimulating retail experience, and lowers the costs of producing the products by reducing transportation, packaging, energy and distributors costs.
