Places where growing food means something.
A lighthouse project is a deployment in a setting whose experience is worth publishing — a professional kitchen, a clinic, a school, or an environment where fresh food is genuinely hard to get.
Public value, not a logo exchange.
A lighthouse partnership means both sides invest something real: we provide hardware, trays and support; the partner provides the setting, the operating reality, and permission to publish what actually happened.
The kinds of partners this suits.
- Professional kitchens
- Chefs using harvested-to-order greens as an ingredient, not a garnish gimmick.
- Health and nutrition practices
- Practitioners interested in fresh food as part of everyday eating.
- Education
- Schools and programs where growing is part of teaching.
- Constrained environments
- Settings where fresh produce is difficult to supply reliably.
The whole record, including the failures.
Every published case states the setting, the goal, what each side contributed, what happened during the deployment, what the outcome was, and what the case cannot be used to conclude.
A case that went badly is still a case. We would rather publish that than nothing.
No partner, institution or location is named publicly without a signed agreement and their explicit approval of the published text. No lighthouse cases are published yet.
Tell us about the setting, what you would want the deployment to demonstrate, what you can contribute, and whether you are willing for the results — good or bad — to be published.
A dedicated intake form for this relationship type publishes shortly. Until then these conversations are handled individually so nothing is lost in a generic inbox.
