Urban farming.
All hands on deck at Vitagrow Urban Farms. Clearing the greenhouses and systems, takes a lot of time and work.
But once done it's so satisfying to see new life and healthy crops producing nicely.
Make sure to order your microgreens, cucumbers, lettuce and Strawberries.

Red capsicums are so satisfying to grow. They're some of the most versatile and brightly coloured 'fruits', that can enhance a dish any day. From a simple salad to tacos, pasta sauces or a courful baste for your braai meats. Try our peppers, when you're next out shopping, you're sure to like them 😃 #myvitagrow #capsicum #redpepperseason #growhouse #urbanfarm
This variety of winter lettuce grows well during the colder seasons. We set ourselves a challenge to maintain a good supply of lettuce to meet our customers' orders this winter. By testing new varieties of lettuce we learn what crop suits our sub-saharan climate as well as what would please our consumers' culinary pallet. #lifeofvitality #wintergreenhouse #qualitylettuce
