Revolutionizing food with the world’s first farming appliance for fresh, affordable, and sustainable produce year-round.

When the harvest gets a little out of hand 😅

Victory at the St. John's Convention Centre has been busy which means more fresh herbs for the Sodexo Live! kitchen (over 3kg here)!

Not a bad problem to have.

Food recalls are having quite a summer 🫠

Meanwhile in St. John’s, four Victory units are growing basil, cilantro, green onions, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, beets, edible flowers (and more).

Fresh food grown metres instead of thousands of kilometres away is the kind of future we want to be part of. 🌿🍅🌶️🥕

Another week. Another harvest. 🌿

This week, Victory at St. John's Convention Centre produced over 2.3 kg of fresh herbs. Nearly a year into our Local Champion program, every harvest is helping us improve yields, software, and the growing experience.

Huge thanks to the Sodexo Live! team for growing alongside us.

Victory has a new home! You can now find it beside the bar at Terre Restaurant & Café 🌿

We recently moved Victory so we could take advantage of our fully automated water connection - and so more people can discover it while they dine.

If you spot Victory out in the wild, snap a photo, tag Aera and use - we’ll be featuring our favourites (and we’ve got some Aera swag to give away!)

A carrot. But also 10 years of R&D. 🥕

Back in 2021, we started trying to grow what many people said couldn’t be done: root vegetables indoors.

At the time, it was mostly an engineering challenge. But today, it’s becoming a customer requirement.

As we work with more kitchens and communities, we’re getting requests that go far beyond herbs and leafy greens. Carrots, potatoes, broccoli, and other nutrient-dense crops that most indoor growing systems weren’t designed to handle.

Growing root vegetables in a compact, automated aeroponic system requires solving a completely different set of engineering and horticultural problems.

Seeing results like this is a reminder that those challenges are solvable and that the future of indoor farming is much bigger than salad.

Watermelon radish grown aeroponically indoors in Victory.

We’re discovering that indoor growing can go much further than leafy greens, alongside our Local Champions and

What a few weeks of growth in a Victory looks like at 👀

The team has been harvesting the whole way through while helping us test everything from herb staples to hard-to-get crops like shiso and watermelon radish.

Thousands of people have walked by this unit during conferences and events and honestly the SJCC team can probably demo Victory better than we can at this point 😂

Building in public is terrifying sometimes, but working with teams like this makes it easier.

Day 6 at and we’re already growing 🎉 This is savoury germinating from our patent-pending reusable AutoPod - planted directly from seed with no transplanting.

Early tests with our Local Champions show growth up to 50% faster than soil. Excited to share more on these sustainable pods (and to taste that savoury!)

It’s Victory Day at 🌱

We’re so excited to have their team and guests as part of our Local Champion cohort. We’ll be growing herbs, tomatoes, and maybe even potatoes together.

The Gathering Place joins , and to help us show what building a local food system looks like.

We’re gearing up our next cohort of Local Champions - if you want in, DM us!
