A living ingredient, delivered to your kitchen daily.

A living ingredient

Living greens, not truck freight

We harvest in the morning and deliver from an hour away - not 2,000 km and 5–7 days down a supply chain. They arrive alive, roots and all.

Harvested today, with you today or tomorrow

Zero fridges en route, straight from the farm. Greens go into the menu the day they were cut, not after a week in transit.

An hour from you

5 vertical farms in Chișinău, across all 6 sectors. The distance from plant to plate is measured in minutes, not kilometers.

Alive, roots and all

Grown under LED, in clean water, no soil, no pesticides. They arrive root intact and stay crisp for ~5 days in the fridge.

The range

What you put on the plate

Green all year, because LEDs don't do seasons. Pick what fits your menu and get the same variety, consistently.

Microgreens

Young leaves for garnish, aroma and color on the plate: basil, broccoli, pea, coriander and more.

Edible flowers

Delicate accents for plating and desserts. A living detail that lifts the presentation with zero extra work in the kitchen.

Lettuce and herbs

20+ lettuce varieties plus fragrant fresh herbs - from Butterhead to basil, mint and dill.

Common questions

What chefs want to know

Do you deliver across Chișinău?

Yes - all 6 sectors: Centru, Botanica, Ciocana, Râșcani, Buiucani and Telecentru. For the suburbs, write to us and we'll check together.

How long do the greens last in the kitchen?

They arrive alive, roots and all, and stay crisp for about 5 days in the fridge - because they haven't already spent a week in a supply chain.

Are they pesticide-free?

Yes. Grown under LED, in clean water, no soil, on a precisely dosed nutrient mix. Pesticide-free by the way we grow - and green all year.

Lettuce (20+ varieties), herbs, microgreens and edible flowers. Mushrooms are coming soon. Tell us your menu and we'll find the right range.
