You control and configure FarmBot using the free FarmBot web application at my.farm.bot. We expect to indefinitely offer free service adequate for home growing needs, though we may charge for commercial or industrial FarmBot usage, for FarmBots larger than 3m x 6m in area, for FarmBots growing large numbers of plants concurrently, for multi-bot/multi-user management, for advanced features, and/or for other increased account limits.

You may also always host the software on your own server if you do not want to use our service.

We have gone through great lengths to extensively document FarmBot's hardware and software so that you can learn everything there is to know about the product you own.

This information will empower you to become a FarmBot wizard, taking advantage of all the platform has to offer. From following our step-by-step assembly instructions to using our open API to custom program your machine, our documentation will guide you throughout your whole journey. Get started at docs.farm.bot!

In addition to documenting the product, we also offer free Open Educational Resources for K-12 educators to jumpstart their FarmBot curriculum. Furthermore, we even openly document our business in the hopes that our journey can inspire the next generation of food tech entrepreneurs.

FarmBot is 100% open-source and built to respect your freedom. All of our 3D CAD models, software source code, documentation and data is freely available online and permissively licensed.

You are free to use FarmBot as you wish, repair it, change it to suit your needs, and share your modifications in order to help others. We believe these freedoms are vitally important for everyone to have and exercise because they are what empower us to take back control and regain true ownership of our food system.

When you buy a FarmBot you are joining a community of thousands of other FarmBot enthusiasts, engineers, coders, DIYers, and educators all over the world who believe in the open food future. Together, through the sharing of skills, data, tips, and techniques, we can all grow more food, more successfully.

FarmBot requires basic computer and mechanical skills to install and operate. The majority of our customers do not require any technical support and are able to install FarmBot using the provided online materials. Initial setup will require several hours of configuration and learning to become completely operational. Please schedule adequate time to learn about the software and hardware systems.

While FarmBot is extremely customizable, we cannot provide support to customers that use unofficial parts or intend to use the device in ways it was not designed to operate. We provide limited troubleshooting and technical support for customers that require extra help with their installation. Free support is limited to 1 hour, is non-transferrable, and expires 12 months after purchase of a kit. Please read our full support policy for addditional details.

Key info

FarmBot Genesis is our flagship kit for prosumers and enthusiasts featuring our most advanced technology, features, and options. Coming 90% pre-assembled in the box, Genesis can be installed on an existing raised bed in an afternoon. It is suitable for fixed or mobile raised beds in classrooms, research labs, and backyards.

New in v1.7

FarmBot Genesis now comes 90% pre-assembled in the box! The left and right gantry columns, cross-slide, z-axis, cable carriers with cables and tubes, and all of FarmBot's tools come completely pre-assembled. Just screw the major subassemblies together and you're nearly finished. Assembly time is estimated to be just 3 to 4 hours.
Completely redesigned custom track extrusions allow for quick installation onto a raised bed with 80% fewer parts.
Weight savings and optimizations throughout the kit provide for more robust and reliable movements, as well as more economical and sustainable packaging design.

What you need to provide

Planter Bed

All FarmBots must be mounted to a raised bed or similar infrastructure. Neither materials for the bed nor soil are included with the kits because every installation will be different, and shipping lumber and soil would be prohibitively expensive.

Electricity

FarmBot must be plugged into a 110 or 220V outlet. The 30cm (1ft) power cord comes with a standard US 3-prong plug. You must connect this to your own extension cord if needed. Customers outside the US: you must provide a plug adapter if needed.

Water

FarmBot's water system has a 3/4″ female Garden Hose Thread (GHT) connection, meaning you can take a standard US garden hose and screw it into your FarmBot. You will need to provide a hose of the appropriate length.

Internet

FarmBot can only be controlled using the web app, so an internet connection is required. The Raspberry Pi has built-in WiFi, though you may need to reposition your WiFi router or install a repeater to ensure a reliable connection.
