CASE STUDY
Grobiero Farms
AI-assisted operations platform for a Canadian berry producer
THE SITUATION
A growing operation on paper and intuition
Grobiero Farms had scaled from a family operation to a serious Canadian berry producer largely on the strength of two generations of hands-on knowledge. Daily decisions were still being made by walking the fields and talking on the phone. Scale was stretching that model thin.
The team wanted software that augmented their judgment, not a generic agritech SaaS that forced their process into someone else's schema.
BEFORE
Daily decisions made by walking the fields, tracked across five spreadsheets and a whiteboard.
AFTER
A single operations platform the whole farm runs on, with AI assisting where it helps.
WHAT WE BUILT
An operations platform shaped around this farm
We partnered with the operations team to build a custom platform: field tracking, labour allocation, yield forecasting, and the daily decision log the farm actually runs on. AI assists where it helps (pattern recognition on historical yield, natural language queries on operational data) and stays out of the way where it does not.
Shipped continuously from week one. The team has been using the platform in production through a full growing season.
