I am planning to vertically farm a traditional plot of farmland with greenhouses and temperature/humidity control

I’m a full-time modern day inventor, tinkerer, engineer and experimenter. I decided to retire from my company at age 25 and live off retirement funds from my IRA until they run low and I need to get a job again.

The plan is anything but simple, but the start is basically that I plan to calculate the area that my greenhouse will cover and ensure I have at least 3 times that in tiered garden beds to effectively triple my farmland. I’ll start out small and make tools and automated motors to drag 3D printed planter, plow, and other arms across my greenhouses. I plan on setting up a command center in my house that will have sensor readings for soil temperature, light, moisture, and humidity.

I’ll hand-pollinate and try to raise and keep a colony of honeybees that I will both use to make honey to sell and to pollinate crops eventually. I’ll setup a series of solar panels for batteries to be charged with and use as much renewable energy as possible for charging electronics.

I hope to learn how to become a smith, a sawmill, and a carpenter to eventually build a small town.

I’m currently researching biofuels, new ways of generating power and harvesting energy. I’d love to test out any new or experimental research on the farm and I’d really love for researchers to come out and monitor their research and see the impact of their studies in the real world.

If you have any ideas, prototypes, problems, solutions, or discussions around what you think this farm can become, I’d love to hear it. So far I need help with 3D modeling, printing, smithing, insulating a home, making new types of clothes, art, design, finding sources of revenue, investigating legality of what I’m doing, taxes, solar panels, generators, smelting, metal casting, epoxy resin work, building green houses, robotics, AI, software developing, crowdsourcing, and practically every industry ever done.

I need help with this (a lot of help) and I plan on documenting it all on my twitch account, youtube, instagram, and in Discord.

My business name is Mini Market Makers and you’ll find my twitch from my username here. I am really looking forward to this experience/experiment, and I’d really love to meet some new friends along the way.

I hope to build a future that I can proudly start living in now.
