We help communities, institutions, and growers produce food closer to where it is needed through Hybrid Agricultural Bases (HABs): modular farm systems that combine advanced hydroponics, intelligent automation, and renewable-energy integration. Designed to scale from local installations to regional food networks, HABs make food production more resilient, efficient, and accessible.
Farm Smarter Not Harder
Shipshape provides end-to-end support for organizations seeking to strengthen local food production through controlled-environment agriculture. Our services include feasibility assessments, farm planning, site evaluation, and HAB development, as well as hydroponic system integration, automation strategy, and operational design. We also support implementation through workforce training, educational programming, and ongoing technical guidance. Through SPARC, our applied research and development center, we conduct crop trials, technology validation, and agricultural innovation that help translate emerging ideas into practical, scalable solutions. Whether supporting a school greenhouse, a community food initiative, or a large-scale agricultural deployment, Shipshape helps partners move from concept to cultivation.

Every Breakthrough Starts with
SPARC (Sustainable Prototyping and Research Center) is Shipshape's applied research and development lab.
​
Here, new technologies are designed, tested, and refined before deployment in the field. From hydroponic systems and automation to educational tools and Hybrid Agricultural Bases (HABs), SPARC serves as the proving ground for the next generation of sustainable food production.
​
The lessons learned at SPARC extend beyond Earth. Through orbital research and spaceflight experiments, Shipshape explores how plants grow in extreme environments and applies those insights to agriculture here at home.
