We've answered this question for potential customers elsewhere on the site, but I thought I'd explain why we the staff choose to Farmscape. Why did we start Farmscape? Why are we excited to run the business ongoing? Here's a short list of reasons for my enthusiasm to build and run Farmscape:

1. The Start-Up: Farmscape is unique. By offering to farm annual edibles in people's yards, we're offering an entirely new service to the marketplace. There are farmers who will grow your food in big fields. There are landscapers who will design, build, and maintain your yard. But before we started shop in LA, there was no service offering the combination of these -- farming knowledge and labor for the home landscape. It is impractical for conventional landscapers to tend complicated edible vegetables like a farmer would -- it takes specialized knowledge, tools, and supplies and it requires way too much human effort and vigilance to fit well into a landscaper's suite of services. Therefore we created a specialist service to address a specialized need.

4. The Yield: We grow healthy produce that tastes better than the majority of food readily available at grocery stores and farmers markets. Best of all, Farmscape brings the treasure of homegrown and sustainable food to a segment of the population that otherwise would not or could not consume it. At first our founders considered starting a garden supply company to sell products to the Do-It-Yourselfer, but one of the things that appealed to us about the service business was that we could share gardening with people who were not prepared to do it for themselves.
