Harvest CROO began in 2012 on Gary Wishnatzki's vision of creating a solution to the dwindling labor force in agriculture. With the expertise of Chief Technical Officer, Bob Pitzer, they began developing the first Harvest CROO (Computerized Robotic Optimized Obtainer) machines. In Phase I, $1 million was raised through qualified investors. Seven of these investors are members of the strawberry industry, including Sweet Life Farms, Sam Astin III, California Giant, Inc., Main Street Produce, Inc., Sweet Darling Sales, Inc. Innovative Produce Inc., and DG Berry, Inc. In Phase II, Harvest CROO is seeking to raise $1.5 million to build the next version, the Alpha unit, which will be the predecessor to a production model.
