Grand Farm Launches New Website, New Logo and New Partnership Plan
Grand Farm, powered by Emerging Prairie, has added to its marketing capability and long-term financial sustainability through three new initiatives:
Grand Farm recently relaunched GrandFarm.com, an upgraded website. The new site will
greatly enhance Grand Farm’s ability to create new leads and new partnerships and to share information and research with the rest of the world.
The site has information and ways to connect for a variety of Grand Farm audiences,
including: higher education; growers & farmers; agtech industries; researchers and
entrepreneurs.
GrandFarm.com was designed and donated by Onsharp President & CEO Joe Sandin and his team.
Emerging Prairie’s Director of Marketing, Lee Schwartz, is thankful for Onsharp’s support
whenever new Emerging Prairie projects are launched. “Joe and his Onsharp teammates are true community leaders who have helped Emerging Digital Academy and Grand Farm
tremendously. They’ve donated time and resources for us to create the best possible
experience for our students and for our Grand Farm partners.”

Grand Farm Logo
Grand Farm also recently launched their first official logo with support from the team at Chipper Design Studio. The logo represents a spike of wheat in the image and reflects both the grounded nature of farming paired with a futuristic view of agtech shown in the font.

Grand Farm Launches New Partnership Program
Grand Farm recently launched its first, official partnership program. The program will bring together (on location at Grand Farm and through Grand Farm’s extensive network) local, regional and global agtech leaders to help solve problems facing today’s farmers.
Partnerships are broken into three “tiers”, designed to be valuable to all partners and be as inclusive as possible. The partnerships provide access to farmland for experiments, access to Grand Farm’s event space for partners to host their own events, access to Grand Farm’s own events, and speaking/thought leader opportunities. Grand Farm partners will also have “first in” opportunities for future Grand Farm projects as well as committee opportunities. Partners will attend Grand Farm events, collaborate with other partners, and share in the research & knowledge generated by Grand Farm.
Grand Farm’s goal is a 100-partner network for 2021. Grand Farm’s first partners include:
ISight RPV Services. ISight Drone Services provides Remotely Piloted Vehicle operations to agricultural, critical infrastructure, wildlife management, insurance, and emergency services clients so they can unlock the value and efficiency of collecting data and imagery with unmanned aerial vehicles.
