Sweet Farm

🌏We are so honored to have been invited by Bloomberg Green to this inspiring event! #bbggreenfestival We met so many incredible people who are working hard every single day to make the world safer, kinder, and self-sustaining. Thanks to our wonderful friend Ondrea Vicklund for donating her time, energy, and talent to inspire everyone at the fest…and now everyone who comes to Sweet Farm! Her beautiful artwork will be hung in our tasting room & event center that is opening this fall in the beautiful Finger Lakes of New York! The painting will inspire and uplift thousands of people and will continue the conversations we had at #bloomberggreenfestival. Allowing us to continue sharing the messages we learned this week: messages of hope and solidarity and determination. 💪

Come find us in the Green Living Village at Bloomberg Green Festival! Ondrea Vicklund is live painting and we are discussing all things climate tech, regenerative agriculture, messaging, and progress. Let’s change the world together! #bbggreenfestival

Sweet Farm’s Technology Program is perhaps the most impactful part of our climate efforts, supporting startups across food, agriculture, sustainability, and climate technologies. Our Spring 2024 Tech Program report highlights some of the many amazing companies Sweet Farm has worked with over the years. It'll be no surprise why we have so much optimism for the future. Check it out and find out why we are so excited about this work, and how fascinating and world-changing these technologies are!

🚽 Most people don't think about where human sewage waste goes once it leaves their home. Flushed down a toilet, sent to a sewage system, that organic waste is never thought of again. In the US alone, over 100M tons of organic waste per year are sent to landfill, incinerated, or applied to crop fields, creating environmental and health problems. 🔥 That's why Sweet Farm was excited to team up with Bioforcetech Corporation as part of its Climate Tech Accelerator program. Bioforcetech’s technology https://lnkd.in/ejACg44Y transforms organic streams (including from the human waste system) into both renewable energy and biochar. The heat of this process also eliminates some very problematic chemical chains like PFAS, microplastics, and pharmaceuticals. 💪 Biochar can be applied in many different ways to create a more sustainable planet. Biochar is practically a miracle substance. It can be used as a colorant in inks, stains, resins, and more. It can also replace aggregates in concrete, turning buildings into carbon sinks, or added to any cast material like ceramics, reducing raw material needs. 🌱 At Sweet Farm we use it as a soil amendment. Biochar restores soil carbon by helping microbes flourish, holding onto water, and adding much needed nitrogen and phosphorous. We had the best strawberries we've ever grown after we added Bioforcetech's biochar to our soil! #sustainability #climatesolutions #climateaction #sustainabilty #sustainableliving #climatesanctuary #sustainable #conservation #nowasteliving #sustainablelifestyle #climate #climatechange #nowaste #futurefarming #sustainableagriculture #regenerativeagriculture #regenerative #regenerativefarming #regenerativegardening #sustainablefarming #regenerativefarm #biochar #agriculture

We were honored to be featured alongside our friends Catskill Animal Sanctuary and Happy Compromise Farm + Sanctuary in the The New York Times today. Thanks to all involved for shedding light on the critical issue of climate change and the struggles facing sanctuaries all over. Climate change is very real and very present and we can fight it. Sign up for our newsletter at sweetfarm.org to learn how you can be a part of the solution. Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/epkfKqJT

Huge congratulations to our technology launchpad partners Mission Barns for being featured in the Washington Post! Read more about how they are cultivating animal-free animal fat for use in all types of foods.👇 #futureoffood #sustainablefuture #sustainability

TurtleTree is one of Sweet Farm's climate technology accelerator partners, and they are aiming to eradicate all the downsides of milk. Based in Woodland, California, TurtleTree is on a mission to provide sustainable, cruelty-free dairy and infant nutrition products. 🥛 🤱 Lactoferrin (a small component of milk) has been proven to strengthen the immune system, improve gut health, and benefit brain development. But previously the only source of lactoferrin was animal milk, which is very unhealthy for humans to consume and is produced through cruel and planet-destroying animal agriculture practices. Plus, it takes approximately 10,000 liters of milk to produce just a handful of lactoferrin! TurtleTree’s scientists are using precision fermentation (think similar to brewing kombucha) to produce lactoferrin for use in supplements and infant nutrition. 🍼 LF+® is the world’s first sustainably-produced lactoferrin made using precision fermentation technology. Coming soon, you will see LF+ for infant formulas, plant-based dairy, and sports nutrition products, including protein powders, functional beverages, meal replacement alternatives, and multivitamins. 🐄 Go to sweetfarm.org to sign up for our technology newsletter to learn more about all the climate-forward technologies Sweet Farm is helping advance! #climatesanctuary #climate #climatechange #climatesolutions #foodsysteminnovation #futurefarming #sustainability #animalfree #thefutureoffood #animalfreefood #sustainable #climateaction #dairy #formulashortage #infantnutrition

We are THRILLED to have been able to support The EVERY Company on this incredible journey to the world's first egg made without the animal! Our own rescued hens at Sweet Farm helped make this possible (by lending their eggs for protein comparison), and we know they would be proud of the contribution they are making to a kinder future.

Beautiful Dawn living her life with her piggy friends at Sweet Farm, while also changing the lives of pigs worldwide.
