Great conversation at last week's Ruggedize ag robotics event in Salinas with @Colin_Hurd at Mach, which partners with leading OEMs to drive off-road autonomy in agriculture, construction, and industrial applications.

Clayton has been growing greens in the @fdotinc hardware garage for the last 6 months.

Our chef has used their produce in our lunches and I can confirm it's the freshest tasting greens you'll eat.

Now they've opened a full scale restaurant where you can enjoy the same things we've been able to.

If you're in SF, try it out!
