City kitchens buy greens that have traveled for days
Restaurants in our city get lettuce and herbs picked three to five days earlier and trucked in from other regions. Much of it wilts before it is used.
In winter, supply drops and prices change from week to week.
03
A growing room in the city, harvested to order
We grow lettuce, basil, and microgreens in stacked trays under LED lights, in a 600 m² room inside the city. The water is filtered and reused, and we use no soil or pesticides.
Customers order by the evening before through a web form. We harvest in the morning and deliver the same day.
The second room copies the first room's layout, so the setup and crop plan have already run for 18 months.

Questions from investors
Do you give return projections?
Not on this page. We share monthly sales, costs, and harvest records in the data room, so you can form your own view.
What are the main risks?
Energy prices and losing a crop in a single room. The investor deck covers both and what we do about each.
