Coconut fibre is an amazing growing medium we have used for some years now. It comes dehydrated and compacted in 5kg bricks which we then soak the night before using. It has great moisture retention, an ideal density for root development and also is a natural and fully renewable resource. We use all our spent coco in the chicken coup, around the food forest, in the compost and as a mulch. Can’t get better than that!

Our Story

We produce a variety of nutrient dense microgreens for both restaurants and residential consumers in the Queenstown area. We sell both living & cut microgreens and incentivise the return of the empty containers & growing trays so that we can re-use them for the next crop. Our goal is to operate with minimal waste on our external environment. We compost all of the used growing medium and by recycling the trays, we remove the element of package waste and create a financial and sustainable motive for our customers to return them. We have converted a shipping container into a year round production space. In this, we grow vertically on tiered flood & drain beds & in the near future aim to have a well established aquaponic system.
