Step back pesticides
We are simple salads. All we need is a protected environment, clean air, light and some water. Pesticides, plant protection products and herbicides are therefore naturally avoided.
Nickel
Free
We are free-spirit salads, which is why we are Nickel-free and avoid any association with heavy metals.
Saving useful resources for the planet.
My superpower? Growing vertically.we don't only yeld more by taking less space, moreover our cultivation method needs so little water that we recycle used water and water generated by our plants.
Scroll down and we will tell you how we grow our salads.
i am born, i grow and i run on the shelves
In Melzo, just outside Milan, there is an Agricola Moderna Vertical Farm where indoor crops are grown using the hydroponic method. There, inside two facilities, each 8 metres high, I grow naturally protected and controlled.
DAY 1
Sowing
I am sown in an organic substrate, composed by organic, draining materials that help me grow healthy and strong, while preventing me from coming into contact with Nickel or heavy metals.
The aroma of a new beginning.
What's on day 3?
DAY 3
Germination
I stay in a small enclosed cell and thanks to the darkness, humidity, uncontaminated air and controlled temperature, I finally germinate.
I see the light!
From day 4 something starts
DAY 4-19
Growth
The secret of my beauty? LED lights with the right wave frequency and the hydroponic irrigation method. Therefore I grow healthy and protected, infact I am certified Nickel-free with Zero pesticides.
My roots get strong!
On the 20th-are you ready?
day 20
Check-ups and Harvesting
For 20 days I grow and am monitored by careful agronomists and through technological sensors. Then I am cut, packed and ready to go on my way.
Smell how fragrant I am!
The dawn of a new day: the 21st
DAY 21
Arrival at the supermarket
I am on the shelves in 24 hours, ready to be chosen! I am grown in a naturally protected environment thanks to indoor farming, so I am naturally ready for consumption. I don’t undergo washing or treatment and therefore retain all my freshness and texture. Thanks to this small natural choice, I have a longer shelf life than all other salads. I will be kept refrigerated up to 12 days after packing.
I’m coming!

Now you know everything about my life...
but what about my packaging?

My packaging is made of 100% recyclable plastic and it is produced for the 70% from renewable resources.
In particular, from used frying oil that could not enter any other production cycle.
