We’re kicking the weekend off with an agtech community social for anyone in the industry, startup or late stage, Oct. 21 at 3pm.
We’re looking for help with the following - please reply if you can support:

  • Hackathon participants

Cheers!
ORIGINAL BREW
The City of Escondido and Fresh Brewed Tech are partnering to bring the AgTech community together, at Escondido’s potential AgTech incubator!

By bringing together farmers, technologists, community leaders, engineers, and more, we hope to better understand today’s agriculture and food system problems and build solutions together with our local customers for the world.

San Diego, and specifically Escondido is one of the densest farming communities in the state. No better place than to mix our agriculture and tech communities!
