All our crops are grown in an indoor, hydroponic vertical farm. Light, temperature and water supply are controlled, ensuring a reliable crop all year round. Vertical farming is seen as an environmentally friendly way to grow food, as it requires little land space and water, leaving more of the outdoors to nature!
We provide all our micros in returnable boxes and trays, eliminating the need of single use plastic. Any waste from our growing production is composted on site.Â
We deliver in and around Pembrokeshire, reducing the need to import crops from other areas of the UK and beyond. Not only helping to reduce food miles and food waste, but also providing the freshest produce with a remarkable shelf life.
Our crops are grown without the use of any pesticides or fertilisers to ensure our greens are as clean as possible. We only grow using Non GMO seeds and organic where possible.Â
Green Up microgreens are grown in a soilless, eco-friendly medium, coconut coir and we just add water.Â
Speciality crops and edible flowers require a little help from a hydroponic nutrient solution which is supplied to the plant roots. The solution contains water, oxygen and essential mineral elements which are required by plants to grow.
Hydroponic farming use up to 95% less water than conventional growing methods and is considered a viable solution to provide food security around the globe.
We are Toni & Alex of the Green Up Farm, based in beautiful Pembrokeshire. We are passionate about healthy, fresh and local produce. Inspired by our environment, we decided to explore and discover more nature friendly ways of producing food.
We are privileged to be working with some of the best chefs, restaurants, cafes and gastro-pubs in and around Pembrokeshire. We deliver quality crops which add colours and flavours to already tantalising dishes.
We have a background in the food and drinks industry as well as the tech sector. We are passionate about flavourful, plant-based food and we just love to grow deliciously edible things! When we are not on our farm, we can be found out and about exploring West Wales with our two rescue dogs, Rufus and Eli.
