Ulju youth smart-farm startup in full swing—shipping premium strawberries in summer

English text below is provided for convenience. The authoritative source is the Ours Farm forum in Korean.

With support from Ulju County and Ulsan Techno Park’s youth smart-farm program, young agri-startup Ours Farm is producing and shipping high-quality strawberries even in summer, the county announced.

Founded in 2019, Ours Farm runs an ICT-based automated system from seedlings through harvest. This year it added AI growth analytics and forecasting, cutting operating costs by about 20% and energy use by roughly 10–15%.

Strawberries are typically cool-season, but Ours Farm succeeded with summer cultivation of the “Seolhyang” variety in 2023 and is now harvesting a second crop of the premium “Kingsberry,” known for large fruit, high sugar, and aroma.

Through its S&S BERRY brand, the company supplies premium markets and online channels and is developing AI cultivation systems with an eye toward exports and a broader sixth-industry model spanning production, processing, distribution, and experience tourism.
