🚚 Industry Snapshot: Container Farms — Farming in Shipping Crates

Imagine growing lettuce in a parking lot or fresh herbs behind a restaurant. Container farms make it possible—turning 40-foot shipping crates into fully equipped indoor farms.

These plug-and-play systems use hydroponics, LED lighting, and climate control to grow food anywhere, anytime. They’re popular in cities, on college campuses, and even remote areas with limited food access.

Startups like Freight Farms and Local Roots are leading this space, and as adoption spreads, so do the job opportunities. From tech-savvy farm operators to installation crews and support technicians, container farms are opening new doors in urban agriculture.

Go behind the scenes with our video series showcasing day-in-the-life stories, job role spotlights, and company culture inside the world of indoor farming.

The way we get our food in the U.S. is seriously flawed. Walk into any grocery store—especially in a city—and most of the fresh fruits and vegetables have been hauled in from hundreds, sometimes thousands, of miles away. That means lost nutritional value and a hefty environmental impact. But Elon Musk’s brother believes he has a solution… and it starts inside a shipping container.
