OUR MISSION
Crop’t Farms is revolutionizing urban farming by operating turn-key agricultural solutions through digital community supported agriculture. Our goal is to become a market leader in advanced controlled environment agriculture (CEA) while improving local food security, access and opportunity through cooperative development, funding and distribution for urban vertical farmers, particularly those who are disabled military veterans and at-risk and income-disadvantaged individuals.

OUR MODEL
Crop't Farms is an evolution of the community-supported agriculture model, which takes advantage of the blockchain’s potential for distributed consensus, token-based equity shares and automated governance in order to foster greater community engagement while removing some of the managerial burdens and financial risks from farmers involved in CSA.
The goal is to return to the fundamental goals of the original CSAs: to create new forms of property ownership, community cooperation, and locally self-sufficient economies.
Crop't Farms differs from both original and contemporary community-supported agriculture in several key ways. Rather than operating as a single farm, Crop't Farms serves as a cooperative platform for the disabled military veterans and disadvantaged youth communities in order to create a parallel economy for the production, processing, distribution, and consumption of local food.
OVERVIEW
Triarium Token
Triarium is the first cryptocurrency designed specifically for the Veteran Community. In essence, Triarium is the agreement. It allows us to acquire CropBoxes and set up the infrastructure to power the operations. Owning Triarium is like participating in the growth of the food. It is also a mechanism to determine who owns how many shares of crops. If you hold enough digital tokens in your account, you get a share of crops every cycle of production. You can also trade those tokens and spend them like you would dollars.
