What is the origin story of Babylon Micro-Farms?

What are some of the biggest challenges facing Babylon Micro-Farms in the future?


In the near term, our biggest challenge is getting the word out to people about our amazing Galleri-Micro-Farm. Customers are not actively searching for our product because they are not yet familiar with the concept of on-site indoor farming.  Word of mouth, social media post of existing happy customers has been an great source of introductions to new customers. Creating broader awareness and education is a major focus for Babylon this this year. (edited)


What is unique about Babylon Micro-Farms compared to competitors?

Our micro-farm is meant to be seen. With a full spectrum white light and a gorgeous cabinet that is customer private-labelable, we stand out in a good way.  Our Micro-Farms are fully remote-managed with excellent customer support that gives clients peace of mind that the Micro-Farm is being looked after.  We are quite simply the easiest mico-farm to own.
