Babé Farms owners Judy Lundberg-Wafer (co-founder) and her son Jeff Lundberg (CEO) reflect on 40 years of innovation, family, and the specialty veg revolution.
#BabéFarms#40thAnniversary
For 40 years, @BabeFarms has built its reputation on quality, growing 60-70 specialty vegetable crop varieties year-round for top chefs and fine dining restaurants.
With rising labor challenges and the need for more efficient, precise weed control, they purchased a LaserWeeder G2.
See how LaserWeeder has helped solve their problems while improving crop quality and uniformity at scale.
