Ever wanted to grow food like an astronaut?
We bring technology originally developed for the International Space Station, to your location.
A REVOLUTIONARY INDOOR FARMING APPLIANCE
How does HERBY® work?
1. Vertical surface design
HERBY® grows plants from a vertically inclined surface with roots insulated in a separate chamber. This novel vertical surface design (patent pending) offers an industry leading user experience with great work ergonomics and minimal maintenance needed.
2. Closed-loop irrigation
HERBY® uses a novel fog based irrigation method based on NASA studies conducted on the International Space Station. Excess water is re-used in a closed-loop, using less than 95 % water compared to conventional farming.
3. Smart technologies and data tracking
A built-in sensor suite collects a range of growth variables, optimising the growing environment for each plant species automagically.

Learn more about indoor vertical farming
Indoor vertical farming in short
Vertical farming is a form agriculture where plants are grown indoors in multiple layers. Most indoor vertical farming technologies, like Herby™️ use a soilless irrigation method called hydroponics.
In hydroponics, no soil is used and instead, nutrient rich water is circulated directly to the plant roots maximising growth and quality of the produce.
Indoor vertical farming allows the production of fresh food in the heart of large consumer centres. This cuts logistics, keeps the produce fresh, and results in high quality produce regardless of the season.
What is indoor vertical farming?
1. Cuts food waste
Farming in the heart of large consumer centres enables us to minimize food waste during primary production, processing and distribution.
2. Multiple times more efficient
Vertical farming utilises both the horizontal and vertical planes of production achieving multiple times the production per sqm compared to conventional field farming.
3. Up to 95 % water savings
A closed-loop aeroponic irrigation system allows us to save up to 95% of the water compared to conventional field farming.
4. No harmful chemicals or pesticides used in production
Since indoor vertical farming is done in an controlled indoor environment, there is no need for chemical pesticides. This means that the produce are safer to consume, and do not waste natural resources needed in pesticide production.
