About Growing Underground

Growing Underground is an agricultural revolution 100ft under London in disused WW2 air raid tunnels. Sustainably feeding the city from within the city!
2016 Progress 1000 London’s Most Influential People
2017 BBC Food and Farming: Future Food Award

Growing Underground Description

Richard and Steven are childhood friends originally from Bristol who recognised the concern for future food production in a world with a growing population. In 2014 they crowdfunded to build the Growing Underground farm to hydroponically grow healthy, sustainable leafy greens and herbs in disused WW2 air raid tunnels 100ft under the streets of London which attracted the backing of Michel Roux Jr. The farm’s unique location means crops are not affected by adverse weather conditions meaning all year round production, uses 70% less water than conventional farming and no pesticides. Yay!

Here's @frenchfamilyfood amazing salad with our micro herbs and her words dedicated to Notre Dame in her hometown Paris ūüíē . . Repost @frenchfamilyfood - I was relieved beyond words when I heard this morning that Notre Dame cathedral was still standing despite the horrific fire that ripped through the building. It seems that the Rose windows which I admired and loved as a child are intact. And leading French businessmen have pledged 300 million euros towards the rebuilding of... the Cathedral. I was particularly struck that such an awful event should happen in Holy Week. It seems that the Cathedral will be reborn despite the wounds inflicted on her by the fire.ūüēäūüĆŅOn a completely different note, this is a salad of seasonal white asparagus which I steamed until they were just on the right side of tender. I served the asparagus with steamed purple sprouting broccoli, San Daniele ham, @growing_underground salad mix, organic green beans and toasted organic hazelnuts. And a punchy Dijon mustard vinaigrette. #lunch #lunchtime #healthyfood #healthyeating #heresmyfood #onmytable #frenchfood #cuisine #mangersain #salad #salade #dejeuner #foodblog #foodblogger #foodlover #foodgram #foodpics #healthylunch #homemade #foodstyling #foodisfuel #healthylunch #asparagus #organicfood #mangerbio #realolivecompany #natoora

Our micro herbs salads are picked and in stores within hours which means fresher produce for you (which also means an explosion for your taste buds) but also less food waste - YAY!! So we love seeing your food waste meals by using up leftovers like nutritionist Our Organic Home: "Jerusalem artichoke soup. Absolutely delicious! Such a wonderful bowl full of spring ingredients. Using up some leftover veggies such as celeriac, potato, celery, leek and Jerusalem artichokes. Topped with some micro herbs @growing_underground ūüĆŅ
Jerusalem Artichokes are packed full of wonderful nutrition. They are an excellent source of potassium and iron and also contain lots of fibre and protein. They have a type of soluble fibre that balances blood sugar and acts as a prebiotic. ūüíö https://www.instagram.com/p/BvuHeeLHil9/‚ Ķ

"It’s one of many historical quirks relating to the world’s first underground passenger railway, known to Londoners as the Tube. The interior looks like vaulted Tube tunnels. Which is because this was one of eight bomb shelters, designed to hold up to 8,000 people each, that were built to be converted, in peacetime, to a second and faster Northern Line." our cofounder Steve reveals all to AgFunder

I ordered English Salad Mix from Ocado and it's fabulous. It made an absolutely delicious salad with smoked salmon and was equally good on a sandwich with Boursin and fresh, garden tomatoes on wholemeal bread. I can't wait to try other varieties.

Great selection, great customer service
