About Beanstalk

Great tasting produce, farmed around the corner

Tech description:

At the core of Beanstalk is a new set of modern, industrial technology. For example, we've built an autonomous forklift that costs less than $10k (compared to $500k) and can be controlled via an API or through an iPad running our React app. "What does this have to do with growing plants?", you might be asking. Well, before launching a large scale farm, we spent years designing an inexpensive system that contains everything a plant needs to grow in the form of a pallet. As a result, our farms look like distribution centers, and our machinery operates on easy to move and store pallets. This reduces vertical farming costs 10x which expands our selection of profitable crops a great deal. To further reduce costs and increase throughput, we design machinery that plants, moves, and processes the food we grow. To do this as quickly and cheaply as possible, we build our own systems. Machines are designed in Autodesk software. Actuators and sensors interface through industrial I/O boards which are controlled by Linux-based single-board computers (SBCs) like the Raspberry Pi. We deploy to the SBCs over the air and monitor them via cloud-based systems. Operators interact machinery via React Web Apps that communicate with our databases via a GraphQL API. If you're interested in revolutionizing industrial machinery and building technology that will locally grow foods from around the world, please apply!
