Job Description:

Babylon Micro-Farms is changing the future of farming with its environmentally friendly, software-enabled hydroponic farms. We serve commercial dining operators nationwide, from K-12 Schools & Universities, and Cruise Ships, to Senior Living Communities and Corporate Dining Facilities, providing them with access to 40 crops, top-notch training/support, and a mobile app to help them grow fresh, nutritious produce on-site.
