    One year ago, The Vice President of the United States visited Babylon Micro-Farms manufacturing facility. She wanted to learn more about what we were doing. So here’s what we showed her: 🖥️ Our cutting-edge technology. ↳ Funded in part by federal research grants. 🧺 Our Micro-Farms. ↳ And how they allow consumers to grow fresh food year-round on-site. 🌎 Our Impact. ↳ How we’re developing an innovative tool for sustainable food production. 🇺🇸 Our commitment to making our products in the USA. Easily one of the coolest days of my career so far, and truly an honor for Babylon to be acknowledged as a leader in sustainable technology development & manufacturing within the USA. So thank you again to Vice President, Kamala Harris, The White House. We look forward to continuing our path to a greener & more sustainable future for all 💚

    I'm curious whether Trump or Vance has stated their position on the vertical farming industry? When Vice President Kamala Harris visited Babylon Micro-Farms last year, she made it clear that she was a big proponent of this emerging industry! I'd like to think supporting vertical farming is a bipartisan issue! Office of the Vice President of the United States The White House

    Babylon set out to create a new standard for what on-site vertical farming should look like: ✅ Educational ✅ Convenient ✅ Engaging ✅ Reliable ✅ Safe So, to achieve this, we had to put certain practices in place to make sure it’s as easy as possible to maintain & run the farm. Today, I can proudly say, Babylon has industry-leading technology with a clear & effective system in place that ensures all consumers can easily understand how to: 👉🏻 Manage 👉🏻 Maintain 👉🏻 And update Their indoor farms hassle-free. And with the help of our expert team, like John Moody, we have been able to create super simple guided paths that anyone can follow. Check out the below to learn more about this, and how John is supporting our clients to have access to nutritious & fresh produce daily ⤵️

    When Babylon was born, we wanted to make farming more accessible to all. But there was one group in particular that we really wanted to help… → The younger generation. Here are some stats most people don’t know: 👉🏻 32.1% of children do not eat fruit daily 👉🏻 49.1% of children do not eat vegetables daily 👉🏻 And only 29.3% of children consume 5+ fruits & veg a day When it comes to eating & accessing fresh produce, children should be at the top of the list. Because this food is not only nourishing future generations… But it is showing them the true meaning of fresh produce. And this is exactly why, Babylon Micro-Farms created the STEM Garden. Helping schools to show their pupils the importance of eating & sustaining a healthy and nutritional diet. While also transforming how they access & utilize it! Here’s how ⤵️ 📝 Micro-Farm Based Learning ↳ Micro-Farm initiatives offer cross-curricular education aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals. Students can learn about hydroponics, adopt healthy eating habits, and explore new career paths. 🔒 Food Safe Cultivation ↳ Our enclosed gardening system maximizes plant growth with minimal effort, fostering a safer and more efficient learning environment. 📖 Hands-on Learning ↳ Students can experience workshops led by dietitians, chefs, or teachers and gain firsthand knowledge about the nutritional value of food, its sources, and delivery technology. 🎒Student-led Activities ↳ Having your own indoor farm allows students to collaborate, promote teamwork, and develop skills, all centered around good food. It's time to prioritize the people who will lead future transformations. And by giving them direct access to experience the cultivating, nurturing, and growth of fresh healthy food. We can reshape the meaning of good food (and its importance) for future generations to come.

    One of the key things that Babylon achieves when partnering with hospitality clients? → Providing their guests with a unique, high-quality fine dining experience. Whether that is with: - Spas. - Hotels. - Resorts. - Cruise Ships. We know that to ensure they are giving their guest the ultimate experience. Produce that has traveled 100+ miles before it has reached their guest's plates cannot be served. That's why at Babylon Micro-Farms, we're teaming up with hospitality businesses to redefine 'farm-to-table'. And here’s how 👇🏻 🥦 Fresh, local ingredients anytime ↳ Businesses can see their produce grow right on-site, without needing deliveries. ♻️ Sustainable culinary experiences ↳ You cannot beat the taste of freshly grown, nutrient-rich produce 🤷🏻 ⚒️ Interactive farming experience ↳ Guests can participate in activities like planting & harvesting (and so much more!). Babylon is partnering with hospitality organizations to ensure that their guests experience the freshest & most flavorful produce harvested right in front of them. But we are also doing more than just this… We’re helping these businesses to create: ✅ Stronger bonds with guests, staff & their community ✅ An ongoing commitment to sustainable practices ✅ And a deeper connection with their food. As that's what Babylon is all about! → Creating culinary experiences that leave a lasting impression. So if you’re interested in learning how Babylon can transform your dining experience. 📩 Drop me a DM & let’s discuss! Check out how we did this with Corner Juice! They were one of our very first clients back in 2017, our products and technology have changed a lot since then, but our mission remains the same.

    40+% of fresh produce ends up in landfill every year before it even reaches your plate. (This equates to 325 pounds of waste per person per year.) Although most people pay little to no attention to this… It’s a growing problem that we can’t ignore. And it’s exactly why I started Babylon Micro-Farms. ↳ To help people efficiently grow food anywhere, any time. Just 1 of our Micro-Farms alone can help you to: 👉🏻 Utilize 90% less water than traditional farming 👉🏻 Save around 6000 gallons of water a year 👉🏻 And have access to fresh produce, daily. When it comes to building a more sustainable future, one thing is very clear: → We need a more sustainable food system. And Micro-Farms are one of the many exciting solutions helping us achieve to this. Check out the below to learn how ⤵️
