The Strawberry Project
Grow Strawberries Like a PhD
From garage grower to local producer — guided by AI every step of the way.
The Vision
Start small. Think big. The Strawberry Project takes you from a 4-tower ZipGrow system in your garage to becoming a legitimate producer for local food hubs — with advanced AI guiding you through every decision, every challenge, and every harvest.
We believe anyone can grow strawberries at a professional level. You just need the right tools, the right guidance, and someone in your ear telling you you've got this.
