Farmblox Expands from Maple Syrup to Vineyards

Shortly after raising $2.5 million, Farmblox Inc. has announced plans to expand their operations from maple syrup to vineyards and orchards. The agricultural monitoring startup develops AI-based solutions to monitor crops.

The company was founded in January of 2023, with rapid growth bringing them to 55 live farm customers. Farmblox says its platform has grown tenfold in the last year as customers adopt the technology at the forefront of addressing critical challenges posing significant threats to the global food supply.

Farmblox’s technology enables remote monitoring in all weather conditions, gathering data into a simple dashboard. With data at your fingertips, farmers can identify operational issues in moments.

The seed funding will enable expansion of both their operations and their technology. The company plans to offer data on soil moisture, soil CO2, soil temperature, leak detection, tank and silo levels, ambient temperatures, freeze risk, water usage, irrigation pressure, pump conditions, and weather conditions.
