It may look like a wine fridge but The Urban Cultivator, a system dedicated to creating the freshest herbs and greens, is far better for you! An Australian first, the system takes the complex weather hurdles out of growing and serving herbs and creates a unique indoor growing environment, with no pesticides, no travel time and no food waste.

Alon Pfau, one of the brains behind introducing the system to Australia, had been on the hunt for such a product for many years, finding that there was no easy solution to growing herbs year round and hassle free. “Since we discovered the Urban Cultivator, we have had an influx of fine restaurants and domestic clients wanting to adopt the new technology,” he says. “They do so either as a simple way to provide the freshest ingredients to customers or as a way of feeding their family the best possible produce right in the home.”

Perfect for chefs and home cooks alike, the Urban Cultivator allows you to grow a long list of herbs, micro-greens, flowers and veggies in a completely automated indoor growing appliance. Watering and light cycles are controlled by an intuitive computer interface, with on board fans to control humidity and air circulation.
