      SALADS. HERBS. MICRO-GREENS.

    • NEXT-LEVEL FARMERS

      The first commercially viable vertical farm

      Ard van de Kreeke

      This is our nature

      We believe it’s our collective responsibility to seek solutions that help attain sustainability and deal with larger social and environmental issues. This is not our company policy. It's our nature.

      Ard van de Kreeke, Founder

      Microgreens Vertical Farm Amsterdam

      Call us growers

      Or call us a tech company. We have deep roots and a long history in both. For example, our founder Ard has a background in reusable energy, circular animal feed and organic arable farming.

      Vertical farm Amsterdam Growy

      Our home base

      In Amsterdam we combine extensive agricultural experience with the latest technology developments to provide on-demand produce of consistently high quality.

    • Next-Level sustainable food

      We do everything to deliver on 3 promises

      Promise 1

      Next-Level

      Tasty

      Taste, color, smell and bite we refine by meticulously tailoring light, climate and nutrition conditions to what the plant requires at a specific moment. Literally we listen to the needs of our crops (and those of our customers). This process is guided by carefully constructed plant profiles.

      Promise 2

      Next-Level

      Healthy

      A relatively small portion of our salad mix can contain as many nutrients as found in the daily recommended amount of vegetables. Our way of growing is clean. We do not use pesticides, fertilizers or land. We get water, food and energy from organic waste, such as from food that has passed its best-before date.

      Vertical Farm THE NETHERLANDS

      Promise 3

      Next-Level

      Affordable

      Our state of the art farms are relatively cheap to build and to operate. The cost of our products is significantly lower than other vertical farmers. This is due to our fully automated process. From sowing to packaging, no one needs to get their hands dirty.


       

       

    • We make people happy

      With fresh food without any weird aftertaste

      Harvesting the future

      We see a world that can still be won

      This would be a place where the earth is not depleted and all proceeds are divided more fairly. Tasty, healthy and affordable food would be available for everyone. It would feature greener cities and more space for nature. With my team, I'm cultivating this world.

      Healthy world

      Farmers like us need to make a sustainability leap

      We grow crops that are not only tasty, healthy and affordable, but also contribute to a healthier planet. In this way we aim to be at the forefront of a global movement: one that closes cycles and achieves climate goals.

      Part of a bigger plan

      Free us from using fossil fuels and chemicals

      It’s about being clean, citizen-centred and – above all – respectful to all living things. With both urbanisation and population levels continuing to rise, we are facing unique challenges – particularly when it comes to sustainability, food safety and human health. We are out to confront these challenges head-on.

    • Microgreens and herbs

      CHEF'S FARM 

      For chefs only

       

      Our label Chef's Farm provides chefs with the most sustainable, fresh, and tasty garnishes, that are grown locally in the city of Amsterdam.

       

      We are the first large scale commercial vertical farm in the Netherlands, that efficiently uses water and energy, and is completely pesticide-free.

       

      We work together with top chefs. Our product range consist of over more than fifty types of microleaves and flowers, as well as fresh seaweed and a variety of salty greens.

      Vertical farm technology Growy

      GROWY FARM

      For retailer and food service

      No one builds and operates a vertical farm less expensive than we do. (As far as we know. So, if you folks know better, we're very interested.)

      • Highest automatization grade
      • Fully automized from seeding through to harvesting and packaging
      • Five years of experience growing microgreens, leafy greens and herbs
      • Strategic location for supply chain
      • One employee needed for checks and malfunctions

      GROWY HOUSE

      Accessible to the public

      ​Our House is a source of inspiration. And above all, it’s a place where you can eat tasty, sustainable, healthy and circular food. Whether its New York, New Delhi, Accra or Amsterdam, a Growy House fits in anywhere.

      • Vertical farm

      • Research & Development center
    • No shit, high yields

      We prioritise respect for people and the environment

      24/7/365

      We grow the same quality

      Without pesticides and manure we can produce up to 1,000 kg per square meter of floor space per year.

      Our growing system

      The most efficient one out there

      It’s safe to say our approach is a significant breakthrough – as reflected in the low prices of our crops. We own the systems, hardware and software IP.

      Our lab

      The beating heart of Growy

      Innovation is in our DNA. We are not satisfied with the status quo.

    • How we grow

      From sowing to packaging, it’s all done hands-free

      Data driven farmers

      One can say control freaks

       

      We learn every hour from every plant we grow. 24/7 our sensors generate new data that we immediately loop back into our system, while applying artificial intelligence for greater insights. Our researcher explore plant profiles, light schedules, different nutrients, climate control and water use, in our endless search for the best flavors, nutritional values and yields.

       

       

          Salads leafy greens

          Every plant gets exactly what it needs

          Our crops grow on cellulose in a clean environment.

           

          We control our Farms and Houses from a central cockpit in Amsterdam where we have dashboards for everything. Here we work together with top chefs, breeders and scientists from renowned institutes such as Wageningen University, Delft University and University of Amsterdam.

          Fully automated 

          The cost of our products are significantly lower than other vertical farmers

           

          Seeding, growing, sowing and packaging, it's all robotized relatively cheap to operate. With our integrated approach and strong team, we have everything in-house to scale quickly and further expand our leading position.​ Our farms are also relatively cheap to build. They’re placed strategically in the supply chain for efficient logistics and a short chain.

        • Many thanks to all 🍀
