What this is

We help you plan what's next.

The tools to automate supply chains are here, but that doesn't have to mean something bad. You can build a semi-autonomous garden, and so much more.

Why run from the future, when you could help build it instead?

How to get started

You can build new food systems, and we can help.

  1. Tell us about your space

    Your yard, rooftop, lot, or empty plot, plus what you actually want to grow. A few sentences is enough to start.

  2. We design the system

    FarmBot integration, a crop and solar plan, and a phased budget sized to your space, your goals, and your timeline.

  3. You grow food

    A semi-autonomous setup that runs the pipeline from seed to supper, with support as you learn it and scale up.

Questions

Frequently asked

Common questions about Johnny Autoseed, automated farming, and getting started.

Is Johnny Autoseed a real product I can buy?

We're in active development and looking for the right people. Reach out, we want to talk, even if you're not buying yet.

Can I invest or get on the early-access list?

Yes. Get in touch and we'll keep you looped in as we open access.

Why publish in the open?

Local food systems are a shared challenge. Publishing the build accelerates what everyone can do next.

Where did the budget numbers come from?

FarmBot pricing, current component costs, and documented build experiences. Everything is linked in the resources section.

What makes this different from a traditional farm?

It focuses on backyard-scale automation for high-density environments. The concept explores how accessible robotics could serve neighborhoods rather than industrial farms.
