Don't forget the refrigeration system, which can easily cost $10-20k if they are getting a walk in one like the ones used by restaurants.
And they are doing this in San Francisco, which would greatly up the costs of everything vs doing it pretty much anywhere else. If they aren't careful with shipping everything to them that can easily eat $5k or more (a shipping container can cost more to move than the cost of the container itself).
- jaclaz 10y ago>Don't forget the refrigeration system ... WHICH refrigeration system? I cannot find any mention of it: "Every unit comes equipped with a renewable power system, internet connectivity, basic farm tools, micro-drip irrigation system and water pump that can be adapted to fit either a groundwell or municipal water supply. Every Farm from a Box unit can be customized with optional components including sensors, water purification units, and even remote monitioring technology." And it would IMHO have merited an icon in the picture here: http://www.farmfromabox.com/about http://www.farmfromabox.com/about

- jaclaz 10y agoYep, but then there wil be a "new price" corresponding to the "new thing". AFAICU the US$ 50,000/60,000 is for the "current" thing, not for the "new" one.
