Not Just a Bunch of Tech Geeks
Our team is one of the most specialised globally in building integrated farm solutions and data systems. But that’s not all. We’re also growers, environmental consultants, earth scientists and business experts who understand the current challenges growers face.
We believe there’s another way.
Ostara is the only existing provider fully focused on polytunnel software solutions. Where other companies lag behind, Ostara goes the extra mile.
Whilst incubated under an industry leader, we took charge of the control for highly technical vertical farms, mastering the art of environment and irrigation control.
In 2024, with a goal to bridge the gap between cutting edge automation and traditional growing, we spun out as a separate company. Ostara was born.
Our ambition is to become the global standard on farm control.
With decades of deep sector experience, no other team brings together this level of precision with such a clear focus on making automation accessible to polytunnel operations.
Supporting Growers Everywhere to Farm with Confidence.
We believe in a vision of the future of protected agriculture where…
Growers everywhere thrive whilst running climate-resilient, profitable and sustainable farms.
The technology you use supports you to run your farming business confidently and effectively.
We problem solve together to not only future-proof your business, but to ensure a more food-secure future for everyone.
By combining tradition and innovation, we’re always learning from how the generations before us have done it, while still looking ahead to what’s possible.
But adapting the vision involves you. Without grower expertise, Ostara wouldn’t exist. That’s why our software is designed with growers at its heart – a perfectly tailored solution purpose-built for your specific needs and growing environment.
