From Seed to Community

How much fresher — and safer — could your family’s food be if you grew it yourself, inside your home?

Salad Tree began with that question. We realized most people don’t have backyard space — but nearly everyone has a kitchen, a balcony, or a spare corner indoors. And yet: families were still buying produce packed with pesticides, shipped halfway across the continent, often with unknown origin or freshness.

Did you know that leafy greens lose up to 50% of their nutritional value within the first 24 hours of being harvested?

We asked ourselves: what if we could bring clean, nutrient-dense greens into your home — regardless of space or growing experience? What if growing food could also bring people together, generate connection, and rebuild local food resilience?

That’s why we created Salad Tree. We’re not just offering grow towers — we’re cultivating community. Because when you grow enough to share, you grow something bigger than food.

Our Vision

“Growing community through interconnected food relationships.”

We envision a world where fresh, living greens — herbs, lettuces, vegetables, and flowers — move from home to home. Where baskets of produce spark conversations between neighbours. Where even apartment balconies feel fertile. Where modern families reclaim control of what they feed themselves and their children. Where food quality, health, and connection are rooted in soil-free abundance.

Our Mission

To re-localize food production by providing affordable, efficient, and highly productive vertical aeroponic towers that let anyone — in condos, houses, or small spaces — grow fresh, pesticide-free greens, herbs, and vegetables to nourish themselves, their families, and their community.

We break down barriers to food security with systems that deliver more harvest, more nutrition, and more connection — while using less space, water, and effort.

We also support our growing network of community growers and affiliates, so that spreading the movement feels as good as harvesting the greens.

Our Values

Simplicity
We make growing food intuitive, accessible, and joyful — no greenhouse, soil, or gardening background needed.

Health First
Your family deserves pesticide-free, nutrient-rich produce — harvested minutes before eating.

Sustainability & Stewardship
We use minimal water, avoid harmful chemicals, and prioritize regenerating local food systems.

Community & Connection
Food isn’t just sustenance — it’s how we gather, share, and belong. Salad Tree is built to be shared: the harvest and the experience.
