Our Story

Founded in 2021, Blue Farm Intelligence represents the culmination of our 30 year experience in information technology and aquaculture industries.  After 20 years in corporate IT, we moved to Kangaroo Island and became oyster farmers for 15 years. With a deep respect for our industry, aquaculture (one of the last industries to adopt digital transformation), the need for fit-for-purpose technology became obvious. We strive to "do our bit" for the world by providing useful tools for farmers and demonstrating the benefits of sustainable, restorative aquaculture on a global scale.
