Growing with plant capsules is very easy:
Simply place the capsule in one of your free plant baskets and in a few weeks you can enjoy your first harvest.
Due to the special design of the plant basket, the capsule is always supplied with the right amount of water. This way, your plant can neither dry out nor be overwatered.

Hand-picked seed selection
When hand-selecting our seeds, we prioritize organic seeds that ensure a full-bodied flavor in the plants and are highly digestible. We focus on the best seed quality and regionality. Before the seeds finally make it into our assortment, they are extensively tested by our plant teams.
Insert and enjoy
The capsules provide the seeds with their perfect environment. The capsules are made of natural materials and are peat-free. They have an ideal pH value and are free of pesticides, fungicides, and all that other stuff. Best of all, they permanently retain their shape. For complete convenience, we ensure that they are already enriched with mineral fertilizer and even contain the seeds. That's why we fill them here in Münster/Hiltrup.
Healthier and Fresher
30 Seconds
Growing herbs, microgreens, and lettuces with the homefarm, harvesting them, and eating them directly provides many times more nutrients. This can even be up to 70 times more. This also has positive effects on taste and freshness.
Weeks
Herbs from the supermarket often have a long journey behind them after harvesting or are overloaded with fertilizers. In addition, there are temperature fluctuations, storage times, and stresses. All of this has negative effects on nutrients, taste, and freshness.
Long harvest vs. wilting plastic pot
The capsule technology of the homefarm ensures a very long lifespan for your plants. Compared to herb pots from the supermarket, it is on average 4 times longer.
Sustainable
Achieving something great together
Positive impact for people and
nature, plant by plant. The plant capsules and the homefarm ensure a very sustainable cultivation method.
The urbanhive community has so far saved 9,000,000 transport kilometers, 288,000 liters of water and 0.2 tons of single-use plastic.
And that is just the beginning. The more people who join in, the greater the impact. Above all, people were able to marvel at the wonder of nature, day and night, within their own four walls, and observe how a tiny seed became an edible, flavorful plant.
Germination guarantee
The homefarm, seeds, capsules, and app form a perfect symbiosis for good growth, yield, and, most importantly, taste. That's why we offer a germination guarantee for every plant capsule. If a capsule doesn't germinate, simply send us a photo of the plant capsule and you'll receive a free replacement with your next order.

Snack-Gurke – knackig, süß und perfekt für zwischendurch
Die Snack-Gurke (*Cucumis sativus*) ist eine kleinfruchtige Gurkensorte, die sich durch ihr knackiges Fruchtfleisch und ihre angenehme Süße auszeichnet. Mit einer Länge von etwa 10–15 cm ist sie ideal als gesunder Snack, für Salate oder als erfrischende Zutat in Sandwiches. Besonders praktisch: Snack-Gurken haben eine dünne, essbare Schale und sind kernarm, sodass sie direkt verzehrt werden können.
Kann man Snack-Gurken direkt von der Pflanze essen?
Ja, Snack-Gurken sind perfekt für den direkten Verzehr geeignet! Sie brauchen nicht geschält zu werden und sind besonders saftig. Dank ihres süßlichen Geschmacks sind sie eine tolle Alternative zu herkömmlichen Gurken und ideal für Kinder oder als gesunder Snack für unterwegs.
Geschmack und Verwendung
Snack-Gurken haben ein mild-süßes Aroma mit einer knackigen Konsistenz. Sie sind vielseitig einsetzbar – ob frisch in Salaten, als gesunder Pausensnack oder in sommerlichen Bowls. Auch als Dip-Gemüse für Hummus oder Tzatziki sind sie ideal.
Falls du ein leckeres Rezept suchst, schau in die urbanhive App oder probiere einen erfrischenden Gurkensalat mit Joghurt-Dressing. Einfach die Snack-Gurken in Scheiben schneiden, mit Joghurt, Zitrone und Kräutern vermengen und mit Salz und Pfeffer abschmecken – ein perfekter, leichter Genuss!
