Farmblox has relocated its headquarters to Santa Cruz, California, to strengthen its position in orchard-focused AgTech and expand support for specialty crop producers.
"California is at the heart of the global agriculture market, and doubling down here allows us to stay close to our clients," said Nathan Rosenberg, CEO and Co-Founder of Farmblox. "Santa Cruz gives us the best of both worlds: proximity to Silicon Valley's innovation ecosystem while remaining rooted in active farming communities."

The new headquarters is located near Reservoir Farms, a collaborative test site where growers, entrepreneurs, and technology companies conduct trials in agricultural technology. Proximity to the site allows Farmblox to test farm automation systems in real production environments and accelerate development of tools for specialty crops.
In addition to the California move, the company will continue to operate a regional branch in Vermont to serve the maple producer market. "Our New England roots run deep," Rosenberg said. "We remain dedicated to supporting maple customers and the broader Northeast market, even as we scale to meet the needs of specialty crops growers across California."
The company stated that the dual presence allows it to serve both maple production in the Northeast and a wide range of specialty crops in California, including almonds and citrus.
