Our IRC refugee Box, "Karma" has landed! PLUS, a podcast!
Dear Republic,
It is our great pleasure to introduce you to, our newest Farm from a Box system, "Karma!" Named by the refugees at IRC's New Roots farm, Karma is our 2.0 model, funded by YOU! It includes the new features we have developed that will boost the overall efficiency and productivity of the farm! From an internal walk-in cold storage system, to our complete IoT-enabled Control and Monitoring platform, this unit brings the best of technology to sustainable, locally grown food!
The IRC Sacramento farm is a 5-acre plot of vacant land within
a subdivision. One half of the land is currently divided into 34 individual
plots that are farmed and managed by each farmer, and their families. Farm from
a Box will help expand the farm onto the other 2 acres for growing additional
fruits and vegetables, including an herb garden, community plot, Native
American medicinal herb garden and an outdoor educational area for training.
OPENING EVENT: June 20th, World Refugee Day! 5-7pm
Join us for our ribbon
