Living Lab
Learn to Grow Farm is our Living Lab.
A two-acre farm in Bahrain that Colin and Reem run, and where Backpack started. The gardeners send a WhatsApp message about what they did, in whatever language they write, and it becomes the farm's world model.
Updates from the team went from once or twice a week to several a day. A farm is just where we started.
