Every.Farm started as a research platform for a single question: how do you turn the firehose of satellite imagery, sensor readings, and field observations into a decision a farmer can actually act on this week — not a six-month research paper?
This blog is where we're going to write those answers down.
What you'll find here
Expect three flavors of post:
- Walkthroughs. Step-by-step recipes that take a real grower question — "where on this vineyard is canopy lagging?", "did the late frost hurt my apples?", "is the cover crop establishing evenly?" — and walk through the buttons, the math, and the map until there's an answer.
- Feature notes. Short pieces when we ship something new, with a screenshot or two and a paragraph on why we built it. If a new analysis recipe lands, this is where you'll see it explained.
- Field notes. Looser posts from the team and our collaborators about what we're seeing in the data this season — what worked, what surprised us, what we're still chasing.
Posts are tagged so you can follow just the parts you care about (satellite, vineyards, apples, soil, prescription maps, API…). There's also an RSS feed if you'd rather pull it into your reader of choice.
Who we are
Every.Farm is built by a small team at Orbitist in collaboration with the Cornell Lake Erie Research and Extension Laboratory (CLEREL) and the NASA Acres consortium. The platform is free to use while the research grants are funding development — that's intentional, because the only way to learn what growers actually need from this kind of tool is to put it in front of as many growers as we can.
If you want to try anything you read here on your own farm, you can sign in at app.every.farm. And if there's a workflow or question you'd like us to write up, send it our way through the contact form — half of what shows up on this blog will come from real questions real growers send in.
Thanks for reading. More soon.
