White Harte Farms is bringing their farm to YardCity for First Friday! Stop by to learn about their techniques and take home your own fresh greens and mushrooms.
How long have you been farming?
We have been growing and selling our produce for almost 2 years at local farmers markets and from our fully automated smart farm stand deployed at The KAWS in downtown.
We are a specialty crops farm growing indoors with no use of pesticides or fungicides. We are a science teacher and marketing director wife team. Sean’s background includes being an M.I.T. Blockchain & Disruptive Technologies program alumni, and a former local science teacher here in Havasu.
We use semi-automated agricultural technology to grow rare and exotic flavored foods in the desert and operate a fully functioning mycology research laboratory.
We grow everything from mushrooms that naturally taste like bacon, to rare lettuces you can’t find in stores. We are also currently exploring ways that blockchain technology can be used for automated robotics to help reduce physical stress and labor needs of local farms.
Our favorite downtown Havasu gem is hands down The KAWS shared work space. The farmers markets hosted there each month was a critical part in our farm having a place to sell our products with low overhead costs. We would not have had a very easy time reaching our customers without their pop up restaurants and farmers markets hard at work!
