Routine coverage, not sufficient to establish notability. Doesn't pass WP:CORP. Four of the references are from the company's own webpage and one is from Kickstarter. The only real source is BI. Uhooep ( talk) 13:45, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Some coverage from an NPR story [1]. With the BI article, I think we're ok. Needs a rewrite though. Oaktree b ( talk) 14:12, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

- Keep When I created the article years ago I referenced the ample coverage in reliable sources at https://www.forbes.com/sites/petercohan/2013/06/27/grow-produce-anywhere-in-freight-farms-60000-truck/?sh=321f4d0e4cb0 and https://newatlas.com/freight-farms-cropbox-shipping-container-farms/36689/ but the current version seems to not have those. I click the news search at the top of the AFD and I easily find https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2017/apr/16/boston-organic-food-farming-agriculture-startups and https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-12-17/boston-based-freight-farms-takes-high-density-urban-farming-to-a-new-level as well.

- Keep The sources listed above by Dream Focus (which need to be re-added to the article) are sufficient to pass the WP:SIGCOV test. A. Randomdude0000 ( talk) 17:21, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
