Four engineers have created a 2,500-square-foot autonomous greenhouse in Marion County that can produce 16 tons of leafy greens and herbs annually with a goal of making farming more efficient and cost-effective.

The greenhouse built in Hubbard is equipped with machines that handle the planting, transplanting, sorting, crop monitoring and harvesting with little to no human interaction. It also provides an alternative for minimizing environmental footprint.
