From Seed to Community

How much more salad would you eat if it was already growing at home?

For us, Salad Tree began with this simple question. But it quickly grew into something bigger. One of the most primal social connections for people has always been to grow and share food together. For millennia, our ancestors carried seeds across landscapes and generations, cultivating the food plants we eat today.

When we grow food, we don’t just feed ourselves — we reconnect with where we come from and dream into where we are going.

Salad Tree exists to carry this lineage forward. We’re not just growing greens — we’re cultivating community. Because when you grow enough to share, you create conversations, connections, and the kind of magic that happens when sustenance is shared.

Our Vision

“Growing community through interconnected food relationships. Where vibrant, living greens flow from home to home, cultivating abundance, connection, and re-localizing food production through simple aeroponic growing systems.”

We envision communities where the ritual of growing becomes a bridge between neighbors. Where baskets of fresh greens spark conversations. Where balconies and basements yield as much vitality as backyard gardens. And where the ancient practice of planting seeds supports modern food security and connection.

We see abundance — nutrient-dense leafy greens, herbs, flowers, and vegetables flowing through neighborhoods as more people choose to grow locally, for the health of it and for the joy of sharing.

Our Mission

To re-localize food production by providing affordable, efficient, highly productive aeroponic towers that enable anyone to grow enough fresh, nutrient-dense food to feed themselves, their families, and their communities.

We make vertical growing simple. Our systems break down barriers to abundance by delivering more for less:

More harvest with less space
More nutrition with less water
More connection with less effort

Through our growing network of affiliates, we ensure that not only do communities benefit from re-localized food production, but that those who help spread the movement are rewarded for their role in cultivating change.

Our Values

Simplicity
Growing food shouldn’t be complicated. We design our systems to be intuitive, accessible, and joyful to use.

Efficiency
With 95% less water than conventional gardening and a minimal footprint, we believe in doing more with less.

Community
Food has always been how we gather, care for each other, and remember who we are. Salad Tree is designed for sharing — the harvest, the knowledge, and the experience.

Regeneration
We are committed to re-localizing food systems, empowering people to reduce dependency on industrial supply chains and grow resilience at home.

Abundance
We believe in cultivating more than food: we’re cultivating generosity, connection, and hope.
