Our intelligence platform is the brains of precision agricultural robots. Aerial intelligence is gathered daily with custom drones and sensors, processed with machine learning and automatically delivered to our customer web portal. Daily intelligence on water, land conditions and plant health saves millions of dollars on chemicals and water. Current customers include agro-chemical companies, equipment companies, and golf courses.

Agriculture is irreparably harming our environment with greenhouse gases, soil erosion, pesticides, water use. Focus Foods will solve this with aquaponics, a sustainable system for growing fish & produce. The fish waste fertilizes the plants. We’ll be a B2B farm selling to groceries/restaurants. We have a prototype & first customer. We’ll build our pilot farm next to a Shop Rite - nearly eliminating transportation/distribution costs/emissions.

The Grass Outlet applies 3 generations of Texas turf-grass experience, so you receive beautiful grass and service you can depend on. With quality farms in the rich soil and ideal climate of the Texas Gulf Coast, we pride ourselves in delivering the finest grass in the Lone Star State. Our farms harvest on an order basis only, guaranteeing our customers receive the freshest grass available.

Turf grass sold at The Grass Outlet comes from family farms located in the rich soils and ideal climate of the Texas Coast. We started farming grass in the 1970s, when our family patriarch, Red Piwonka, was approached by a Houston developer who noticed the large areas of carpet-grass growing native on our farm along the coast. Red began selling turfgrass by the truckload to wholesalers throughout Texas and quickly heard from his customers that the quality of his grass was second to none.

Red’s dedication to providing a quality product helped our family farm grow into a successful business. Now, many of Red’s seven sons have followed in his footsteps, producing quality grass on our family-owned farms and supplying The Grass Outlet, run by Red’s grandson, Mike, with the high-quality sod grass that we provide to homeowners across the state.
