Heligarden company profile

The mission of Heligarden is to provide homes and businesses with stylish and easy to use urban farming products to create a more sustainable and self-sufficient future of food production. Our unique and esthetic helical design enables vertical (upwards!) growing of leafy greens, herbs, berries, and a variety of other plants without the use of soil, only nutrient-rich water. This specifically formulated liquid is recirculated to constantly ensure optimal growing conditions for the plants, while also consuming less than 10% of the water compared to conventional growing. Integrated LEDs evenly distribute light so that the plants will thrive all year round, in any climate. The pot holders attached along the helical profile, which hold the plants in place, are designed to accommodate planting and harvesting for both humans and robots. This lays the groundwork for our vision of making urban farming completely autonomous and accessible to all people.
