“WE SEE THAT THE AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY IS ON ITS WAY TO BEING REVOLUTIONIZED, AND WE WANT TO BE AT THE FOREFRONT OF THAT MOVEMENT. “ What were your first products? In 2017, we released a series of branded indoor aeroponics components, including the Smart Controller, the Root Temperature Control, and the Aero HP Generator (high-pressure regulator). Later that year, Bifarm released AeroKit, a partially assembled aeroponics package. It was the first smart high-pressure aeroponics system available on the market for home use. It has since attracted interest from growers around the world, and people love the results. What were some of Bifarm’s initial challenges? Like most start-ups, name recognition and resources were two major limiting factors for Bifarm. As the pioneers in this field, we often found ourselves with the task of proving both the underlying technologies and our ability to implement them. To win over skeptical customers, we have been developing partnerships and spreading our reach throughout the grow community. How did you gain market share and recognition? Most of our fans come through word-of-mouth and social media, with Instagram being our fastest-growing community. The photos and videos of our users’ results have given us credible results to share. Has your company moved or expanded since the beginning? We have expanded and we continue to grow every day. The company expanded from a research lab to one with manufacturing capability, and now Bifarm is a full-service company. What is your current product line? Our signature line is a series of thermo-optimized, high-pressure smart aeroponics systems. Bifarm Bud, the upcoming modular model, is designed to grow full-cycle till harvest. The smart technology- powered system executes customizable grow plans, documents grow journals and time-lapse photos, and provides remote access via mobile devices. It also features hot standby backup systems for aeroponics, management for power outages, and self-checkup and alert functions. With improved reliability, modern industrial designs and build quality, Bifarm Bud is designed to be a productive, reliable, and premium system for serious cultivators. Where does Bifarm distribute? We currently take orders on our website bifarm.com, with worldwide shipping. Maximum Yield 81
