And get this—it’s just one of four grow walls inside a Freight Farms Greenery container farm! This is what vertical, hydroponic, and sustainable farming looks like—right in the heart of the island. 🇵🇷 Shoutout to these Freight Farmers for pushing the boundaries of what’s possible! #FreightFarms #ContainerFarming #VerticalFarming #Innovation #Hydroponics #Farmer #CommunityImpact #Agtech #FreshProduce #CEA #FoodSecurity #Sustainability

We love seeing how farm-to-school programs are making a real impact! Districts like Morgan Hill Unified School District are leading the way by growing fresh, local produce directly on campus and bringing it into school cafeterias, helping students perform better in class and feel more energized. 👏 It’s inspiring to see districts like Trenton Special and San Luis Coastal making strides in improving nutrition and boosting student well-being. These programs are a key part of building a healthier, sustainable future for our students, and Freight Farms is proud to support Morgan Hill Unified in this journey. #FarmToSchool #HealthyKids #Sustainability #FreightFarms #SchoolNutrition #FutureOfFood #ContainerFarming
You haven’t seen local sourcing like this! 👇 Farm-to-school initiatives are happening across the country. Not only are these programs simply veryyy cool, but they are actually proven to increase students’ fruit and vegetable intake. Increased fruits and veggies ➡️ better classroom performance and improved well being. Eat Real districts like Morgan Hill Unified School District, Trenton Special School, San Luis Coastal Unified School District, and more are connecting students with the food on their plates. Farm-to-school initiatives are an important piece in building a healthier, sustainable future for our children.

Incredible work by James Sprunt Community College! 🌱💚 The ‘Box to Bowl’ initiative is a shining example of how innovative container farming and community partnerships can create real impact. Providing fresh, locally grown produce to schools, churches, and senior services is such a meaningful way to fight food insecurity. Excited to see this program grow and nourish even more people! 👏🍽️ #FreightFarms #FoodSecurity #Hydroponics #CommunityImpact #VerticalFarming #ContainerFarming
From Box to Bowl: A Growing Success in Duplin County 🥗 Since its official ribbon-cutting on July 29, 2024, the Box to Bowl smart farm initiative at James Sprunt Community College (JSCC) has been making a powerful impact in Duplin County—and Four County EMC is proud to be part of its continued success. Thanks to a grant from the North Carolina Tobacco Trust Fund and contributions from JSCC, North Carolina's Electric Cooperatives, Duplin County, and Four County EMC, this innovative hydroponic farm is more than just a container—it's a community-driven solution to food insecurity and scarcity. Recently, Four County EMC board members Carlton Raynor (East Duplin District) and Gene Jordan (West Pender District) received Crop & Cook Boxes—a symbol of the project’s growth and the local partnerships that make it possible. So, where does the food go? 🥕 USDA Farm Share Program 🍅 Local food drives and distribution centers 🍓 Duplin County schools, churches, senior services & youth programs 🥬 Community events, Future Farmers of America chapters, and more With bi-weekly distributions, the program continues to meet the needs of families, seniors, and youth—making fresh, nutrient-rich produce more accessible than ever before. "The addition of the Hydroponic Trailer at James Sprunt Community College is a vital step toward addressing food insecurity and food scarcity in Duplin County. By providing community members with the tools and knowledge to grow fresh, sustainable food, we are creating a ripple effect of positive change." — Katlyn R. Foy, Agricultural Instructor & Hydroponics Farm Manager This is more than farming—it’s the future of feeding our communities. And we’re just getting started. 🌿 #FourCountyEMC #BoxToBowl #DuplinCounty #Hydroponics #JamesSprunt

"This is the freshest of the fresh. This morning, I was in here, I harvested some collards, and they will be in our distribution dock by this afternoon and maybe even in the hands of somebody who comes to a food pantry by this time tomorrow, definitely." The Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York is making fresh, local food more accessible than ever with its Freight Farms container farm! By growing nutrient-dense greens like kale, collards, and arugula right on-site, the food bank ensures that families in need receive fresh, healthy produce year-round—directly through local community programs. With this hydroponic container farm, the food bank can: ✅ Harvest and distribute fresh produce in less than 24 hours ✅ Grow food sustainably using 98% less water ✅ Provide nutrient-rich greens to families in need ✅ Reduce reliance on external supply chains This is food security in action!
