Freight Farms

You might’ve noticed this page has been awfully quiet these past few months . . . a lot happened so let’s fill you in ⬇️

Freight Farms, a pioneer in containerized vertical farming, ceased operations on April 30, 2025.

The closure of Freight Farms was more than a headline; it affects hundreds of growers who rely on these farms to feed their communities.

Up in Canada, Growcer - an agtech company with its own network of growers who use modular farms to grow food year-round - felt compelled to help in any way possible.

After speaking with Freight Farms partners, staff, and farmers, Growcer couldn’t help but see the similarities between the two companies. One thing became clear: Freight Farmers want uninterrupted operation and a partner to support them along the way.

Growcer took our time to evaluate every alternative and decided on a full acquisition as the best way to deliver that stability - not just for farmers but for local food systems as a whole.

On July 28, Growcer acquired the company’s assets, committing to preserve Freight Farms’ legacy while charting a stronger future for its growers.
