Our vision
Growing Innovations to Empower Farmers
Summer 2016
Now
FarmWise was founded in summer 2016 by Sebastien Boyer and Thomas Palomares,
long-time friends and engineers passionate about sustainability challenges.
They started to imagine how the technology they used while working in MIT
and Stanford Computer Science laboratories could be used to make farming
drastically more efficient.
Thanks to the trust and collaborative effort of two visionary growers in
California, their idea of a machine that could kill weeds without using
chemicals went from a proof-of-concept to a commercialized product.
Today, our team of 50 is a mix of farming experts and technologists.
We’re serving vegetable growers in the Salinas Valley and Santa Maria
region in California and now expanding to the Southern deserts.
Our journey has just begun, and we’re already starting to develop applications
of our technology for more crops and farming tasks.
