Freight Farms

Freight Farms was co-founded by Brad McNamara and Jon Friedman. The firm has an executive team including a CEO, CTO, CMO, and CFO, though the company does not publicly disclose all names. The 2024 timeline notes a new CEO was appointed that year.

Freight Farms sells container farms (hardware), the farmhand software subscription, training and support services, and hydroponic nutrients. Revenue comes from both one-time hardware sales and recurring software subscriptions. The company's financials are not publicly disclosed.

The Greenery is Freight Farms' second-generation container farm, launched in 2019. It is a commercial-scale, modular hydroponic farm built inside a shipping container, designed for year-round produce growing. The company has iterated through 11 different farm models since 2013.

Customers include small businesses, nonprofits, schools and universities, hospitals, hotels, corporate campuses, and food banks. Notable verified customers include Sodexo, Google, AdventHealth, and Connecticut Foodshare. The company also sells to resorts and tribal nations.

In 2025, Freight Farms was acquired by Growcer, a Canadian vertical farming company. Freight Farms continues to operate under its own name with Growcer's resources. The acquisition was covered by AgFunder News.

The company does not disclose a separate philanthropic foundation. However, its mission focuses on food access and sustainability, and many customers (such as food banks and nonprofits) use the farms for community food security. The firm does not operate its own charitable foundation.

Farms are deployed in all 50 U.S. states and three territories, plus 42 countries across five continents including Canada, Sweden, the Middle East, Caribbean islands, and Australia. The company cites both urban and rural deployments.
