The product is a sense of connection to the food and it sounds like some customers are willing to pay a high premium.
It sounds like farmhands employed by Farmizen do all of the planting, maintenance, and harvesting, and the customer is able to view the crops from afar, probably by video feed with a personalized blog about how their tomatoes are doing.
As someone who grew up on a farm it seems very silly and inefficient but also as someone who now lives in a city and hears fellow yuppies complain about how "disconnected from nature" they feel, it makes sense that they could get some customers, but I don't see customers staying customers because the yields will be low and the prices will be high and the quality won't be as good compared to the farmers market or organic grocery.
