So, what do we actually grow? ๐Ÿค”

Thanks to the magic of hydroponic vertical farming, we can set different environmental conditions in each of our farms to meet the needs of what we are growing.

In this video, you'll see our Romaine and Butterhead lettuce (Tom's favourite ๐Ÿ‘€) growing alongside Rocket and Kale - all of which are thriving! ๐Ÿฅฌ๐ŸŒฟ

These four crops enjoy the same conditions, meaning we can grow them in the same farm, optimising our use of space.

Have you tried any of our fresh greens? Let us know in the comments ๐Ÿ‘‡

We grow in the city, for the city ๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Our fresh produce is never too far away. We can deliver within 24 hours of harvest, meaning our customers get to enjoy maximum freshness.

We can even keep our lettuce heads fully intact when delivering, keeping them alive and fresher for even longer! ๐Ÿฅฌ

This is freshness like you haven't experienced before.

What are Microgreens? ๐Ÿค”

Alongside our leafy greens, herbs and mushrooms, we also grow Microgreens... but what are they?

Microgreens are herbs that have just sprouted, and pack an intense flavour in a small package! ๐ŸŒฑ

From Micro-Coriander and Lemon Clover, to Rioja Radish and Nasturtium, we have a vast range of micros available for you to try!

Visit our online shop to explore the range, and order yourself some micros you may never have tried before ๐Ÿคฉ

Letโ€™s talk about... Hydroponics ๐Ÿฅฌ

Hydroponics allows us to grow plants without soil and directly in water. This in turn improves the consistency, resilience and (most importantly) the quality of our products.

Thanks to hydroponic technology, our farming methods use

โœ… 95% less land
โœ… 95% less water
โœ… 100% less chemicals

than conventional farming techniques.

Is hydroponic farming a new concept to you? Do you have any burning questions? Letโ€™s have a chat in the comments! ๐Ÿ’ฌ

๐ŸŒฎ Val's Breakfast Taco ๐ŸŒฟ

Who says breakfast has to be ordinary? Our development chef, Val, has taken a classic and given it the Crate to Plate treatment, packed with our fresh, London-grown microgreens for a bold, vibrant twist!

Fluffy scrambled eggs with a pinch of heat, fresh tomato and avocado salad, and a generous handful of Lemon Clover and Rioja Radish microgreens... all folded into a crispy pan-fried tortilla ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ

The microgreens bring a fresh, citrusy lift and a peppery kick that completely transforms this everyday favourite - more flavour, more texture, more colour - all from a simple handful of fresh greens.

Why not try a new take on your favourite recipes? Add microgreens to your breakfasts, lunches and dinners and taste the difference fresh produce makes.
