The concept for Charis Farm Innovations was born from a passion for sustainable agriculture and a recognition of systemic weaknesses in the U.S. food supply chain. The founders identified an opportunity to create a business that addresses the exponentially increasing demand for fresh, locally sourced produce while simultaneously addressing critical industry challenges such as labor shortages, high production costs, international supply chain disruptions, and the risk of produce contamination.
To engineer the next generation of sustainable agriculture by uniting AI, robotics, and precision automation to produce nutrient-rich tomatoes with unmatched efficiency, consistency, and environmental responsibility.
To build the world’s first scalable blueprint for fully autonomous agriculture transforming food production into a resilient, high-tech, self-optimizing system that strengthens local economies, protects natural resources, and delivers long-term value for growers, consumers, and investors alike.
Charis Farm Innovations is engineering the future of agriculture. Our integrated platform combines automation, robotics, AI, and data intelligence to create one of the world’s first fully autonomous, solar-powered, hydroponic tomato greenhouses.
Our autonomous climate engine uses AI agents to predict environmental shifts before they occur. By analyzing real-time sensor data (VPD, CO₂, PAR light, humidity, temperature, airflow), historical patterns, and weather forecasts, the system optimizes:
Why It Matters: More stable microclimates, increased fruit uniformity, and reduced energy use.

Advanced robotic systems, guided by real-time vision, execute consistent and precise crop-management tasks:
Integrated with AMRs and 3D vision system, these robots ensure gentle handling and food-safe operations.
Why It Matters: Reduction in manual labor and continuous 24/7 harvesting capability.
At Charis Farm Innovations, batch control is the backbone of our autonomous greenhouse. It ensures every tomato we grow is produced with precision, consistency, and complete transparency—from seed to shipment.
Key Benefits:
• End-to-End Traceability
• Perfect Consistency & Repeatability
• Electronic Batch Records (eBR)
• AI-Optimized Production
• Faster Root-Cause Analysis
• Scalable & Replicable
• Investor-Grade Transparency
Why It Matters:: Batch control transforms our greenhouse into a self-learning, self-correcting, fully traceable production ecosystem—delivering safer food, higher quality, lower risk, and stronger profitability.
At Charis Farm Innovations, Autonomous Mobile Robots will power the movement of materials, and harvested tomatoes across the greenhouse—without human intervention. Our AMRs are the backbone of a fully automated, high-throughput, 24/7 production system.
Key Benefits
• Continuous, Labor-Free Movement
• Seamless Robotic Harvest Integration
• Smart Routing & Traffic Control
• Increased Safety & Reliability
• Higher Throughput & Faster Cycle Times

Why It Matters: This level of digital integration is rare in agriculture, and it’s what sets Charis Farm Innovations apart.
A fully connected ERP + MES + AI ecosystem means:
• Smarter planning
• Faster decision-making
• Lower operational costs
• Predictable financial performance
• Higher yields
• Minimal human intervention
• Maximum scalability for expansion
It transforms the greenhouse into a true Industry 4.0 agricultural platform, capable of running with precision, efficiency, and intelligence.
This is how Charis Farm Innovations will delivery predictable margins, reliable output, and investor-grade operational excellence—every day of the year.
Digital Twin Simulation is at the core of Charis Farm’s engineering strategy. By creating a virtual replica of the entire greenhouse—equipment, robots, AMRs, conveyors, climate systems, crop growth, and production workflow—we can design, test, validate, and optimize operations before anything is built in the real world.
This allows Charis Farm Innovations to operate with the precision and foresight of a world-class manufacturing facility, using simulation technology rarely applied in agriculture.
Key Benefits
• Design, Test & Validate Before Construction
• Optimize AMR & Robotics Fleet Size
• Predict Production Bottlenecks
• Validate AI Agents & MES Scheduling
• Real-Time “What-If” Scenarios
• Commissioning 10× Faster
• Reduces Operational Risk & CapEx Waste
• Scalable to Future Facilities
Why It Matters: Digital Twin Simulation elevates Charis Farm Innovations far above conventional agriculture.
It provides:
• More accurate planning
• Higher operational certainty
• Optimized automation performance
• Lower risk and faster deployment
• Stronger ROI for investors
• Repeatable, scalable facility designs
This is how Charis Farm designs smarter, validates earlier, builds faster, and operates with industrial-grade precision.
Digital Twin Simulation isn’t just a tool—it’s the foundation of a scalable, data-driven agricultural revolution.
