Description
The urban farm is located in the centre of Pezinok and is dedicated to sustainable urban agriculture. Our main aim is to produce fresh, healthy and organically grown microgreens, which are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Our plans also include the production of ginger elixir, a natural dietary supplement with numerous health benefits.
- Health and nutrition: Microgreens are one of the most nutritious ways to supplement your diet with vitamins and minerals. Growing them right in the city guarantees freshness and a short journey to consumers.
- Sustainability and ecology: Urban farms contribute to a greener environment by reducing the need for imports, energy consumption and transport emissions.
- Community development: The farm can serve as an educational platform for local residents, organise workshops, support community events and motivate others to engage in eco-friendly activities.
Our farm appeals to everyone who cares about a healthy lifestyle, the environment and supporting the local economy. The main target groups are:
- Local and eco-conscious residents: People who want to support local, organic production whilst improving their health.
- Health-conscious consumers: Individuals seeking high-quality, nutritious products to support a healthy lifestyle.
- Businesses and restaurants: Restaurants, cafés and health food shops interested in high-quality local ingredients.
- Better access to fresh produce: Growing microgreens right in the city means a shorter journey to the consumer, ensuring freshness and nutritional value.
- Educational opportunities: The farm plans to organise workshops on growing microgreens, healthy eating and sustainability, thereby raising awareness of eco-friendly practices
- Educating the younger generation: We plan to educate primary school pupils through talks and workshops held directly in schools
- Healthy and natural products: The ginger elixir we plan to produce offers a natural way to boost immunity, reduce inflammation and increase energy.
- Employment and the local economy: Supporting the farm means creating local jobs and boosting the local economy, which has long-term positive impacts on the quality of life in the community.
Financial objectives and use of funds
Funds raised through public support will be used primarily for:
- Expanding growing capacity: Purchasing growing trays, lighting and equipment necessary for microgreen production.
- Development and production of ginger elixir: Securing the necessary raw materials, laboratory quality testing and production facilities for the safe and hygienic production of the elixir.
- Educational activities and marketing: Organising community activities, promoting projects and educating residents about the benefits of local organic produce.
Ways to support and rewards for backers
Our supporters can contribute in various ways, and we also offer them special rewards:
- Financial contributions: Every contribution will directly contribute to the farm’s growth. For donors, we plan to offer packs of fresh microgreens, sample bottles of ginger elixir and invitations to community events.
- Regular subscriptions: We offer the option of a regular subscription to our products at discounted prices.
The urban microgreen cultivation and ginger elixir production project has the potential to become a permanent fixture in the urban community. Over time, the farm could expand into the production of other natural products, thereby further promoting health, environmental sustainability and community development.
This project offers the local community healthy and nutritious products, education on sustainability and the opportunity to be part of positive change. We believe that with your support, we can build a sustainable, green and healthier future for everyone.
