The Market at East Bank Club

A wellness-forward amenity delivering hyperlocal greens and exceptional member experience.

The Opportunity

East Bank Club—a nationally recognized leader in health, wellness, and hospitality—sought a way to bring sustainability and fresh, hyperlocal food directly into the heart of their member experience.

They wanted an amenity that would:

  • elevate their culinary program,

  • deliver ultra-fresh greens for on-site dining,

  • showcase their sustainability commitment, and

  • enhance the overall wellness environment for members.

Micro-farms were the perfect fit—but they needed a partner with the technical expertise and operational excellence to make the system reliable, productive, and seamless for staff.

Freight to Plate became that partner.

Our Approach

Freight to Plate led the project from acquisition to long-term activation, ensuring East Bank Club had both a beautiful amenity and a consistent supply of fresh produce.

Our role included:

  • Procurement of two Babylon Micro-Farms for their public Fresh Market space

  • System installation and activation, including environmental settings and calibration

  • Programming of custom grow cycles designed for reliability and culinary use

  • Development of SOPs to seamlessly integrate the micro-farms into their operations

  • Crop planning and harvest scheduling aligned with the culinary team

  • Two years of operations + maintenance, ensuring steady, healthy production

  • Repairs, troubleshooting, and ongoing optimization to protect crop quality

The result is a farm-to-table amenity that requires no daily labor from EBC staff—Freight to Plate manages the full process, from seed to harvest.

So fresh. So clean. So green.
