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 with homefarm, harvesting, and direct consumption ensure a multiple of nutrients in herbs, microgreens, and salads. 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 this is just the beginning. The more people participate, 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 witness how a tiny seed grew into an edible, tasty 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.

Chives – the culinary all-rounder
Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) are a versatile and delicious plant found in many kitchens. Although chives are easy to care for in the homefarm, there are some important things to consider to ensure optimal health and harvest.
How do I harvest chives correctly?
You should harvest chives regularly to promote healthy growth. The best time to cut chives is during the harvesting phase. The urbanhive app will tell you exactly when it's time. Cut the stems just above the soil of the plant capsule, always leaving some green so the plant can continue to grow.
Taste and Use
In addition to their delicious aroma and flavor, chives also offer some health benefits. They are rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, and iron. These nutrients can strengthen the immune system, improve eye health, and contribute to blood formation. Furthermore, chives contain sulfur compounds that have antioxidant properties and may reduce the risk of certain cancers.
Not only their delicate taste but also their health benefits make chives an excellent choice for culinary creations. If you need a quick meal, then chive bread or scrambled eggs with chive garnish is a good choice.
