Hand-picked seed selection
When hand-picking our seeds, we look for organic seed stock that gives the plants a full-bodied flavor and makes them very easy to digest. We rely on top seed quality and regional sourcing. Before the seeds finally make it into our range, they are extensively tested by our plant teams.
Insert and enjoy
With the capsules, the seeds meet their perfect environment. The capsules are made of natural materials and are peat-free. They have an ideal pH value and are free from pesticides, fungicides and all that other stuff. Best of all, they permanently keep their shape. For complete convenience, we make sure they come pre-enriched with mineral fertilizer and even contain the seeds. That's why we fill them ourselves at our site in Münster/ Hiltrup.
Healthier and fresher
30 seconds
Growing with the homefarm, harvesting and eating right away gives your herbs, Microgreens and salads many times more nutrients. It can even be up to 70 times more. This also has a positive effect on taste and freshness.
Weeks
Herbs from the supermarket have often been on a long journey after harvest or are overloaded with fertilizers. On top of that come temperature fluctuations, storage times and stress. All of this has a negative impact on nutrients, taste and freshness.
Long harvest period vs. a wilting plastic pot
The capsule technology of the homefarm gives your plants a very long lifespan. Compared to herb pots from the supermarket, it is on average 4 times as long.
More sustainable
Making a big difference together
A positive impact on people and
nature, one plant at a time. The plant capsules and the homefarm make for a highly sustainable way of growing.
So far, the urbanhive community has saved 9,000,000 transport kilometers, 288,000 liters of water and 0.2 tonnes of single-use plastic.
And that is just the beginning. The more people join in, the bigger the impact. Above all, people have been able to marvel at the wonder of nature day and night in their own homes and watch a tiny seed grow into an edible, flavorful plant.
Germination guarantee
The homefarm, the seeds, the capsules and the app form a perfect symbiosis for healthy growth, a rich harvest and above all great taste. That's why we give 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 get it for free with your next order.
