Food brought us here. The next meal guides what we build.
Our mission is to make the next meal easier with food grown and prepared close to home. We are developing neighborhood farms and kitchens that could supply ingredients for people or future home humanoids to cook, or prepare the meal nearby.
Food first.
Engineering followed.
Bennett Cawthon began year-round hydroponic food production in Bozeman in 2017. Living crops made labor, timing, equipment, and farm economics daily concerns.
Food-farm economics could not support the technical development the operation needed. A move into cannabis provided room to develop farm software, sensing, spatial systems, and robotics. That work stayed tied to physical operations and biological consequences.
The next chapter brings those capabilities back to food. The question is how a farm, partner suppliers, and a kitchen could plan together around recurring meal demand, then cover the full cost of serving a neighborhood.
The work today
Current software replays recorded greenhouse evidence so its sources, timing, and uncertainty can be inspected. The integrated neighborhood service remains in development.

We are seeking capital and partners in growing, kitchens, supply, land, software, and robotics to establish the first integrated proof.
