Shipshape Urban Farms is an agritech start-up focused on the production and distribution of local produce and the sale of the, patent pending, Container Garden®.
Located in downtown Mobile, Alabama as well as a peripheral site in Irvington, Alabama, Shipshape provides produce for restaurants, markets, and individuals.
The underlying technology of these hydroponic systems allows for an agricultural process that is significantly less resource intensive, and the localized production model reduces both financial and environmental shipping costs. These features together make this mode of crop production less costly at every level of operation than traditional agriculture.
Through this model Shipshape addresses growing desire for fresh, healthy and local food.
