Growing Solutions for Food Insecurity
Take A Look At The Growcer Community In Action.
University of North Texas
University of North Texas operates two Freight Farms serving 47,000 students through five dining halls. Located beside Mean Green Cafe, the hydroponic farms grow lettuce, herbs, and vegetables for immediate campus dining use. The farms provide hands-on culinary education, support sustainability initiatives, and demonstrate farm-to-table freshness in challenging Texas climate conditions.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro South
Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro South uses three Freight Farms to serve 2,500 youth in Massachusetts. The container farms provide STEM education, fresh produce for Club members and families, and support local food pantries. Community volunteers help operate the farms while youth learn agriculture, nutrition, and sustainability through creative programming.
