As an advocate of organic plant-focused food, London-based Harvest & Filter are inspiring urban dwellers to grow their own by launching a collection of wild and heirloom seeds — and they’re already proving popular.

As an online business, Harvest & Filter offer a seed service tailored towards people with limited space or without gardens. Encouraging homegrowers to grow plant-focused food in small spaces such as balconies; indoor planters and windowsills, you’ll find wild varieties; ancestral crops and plants which have for centuries been recognised for their nutrition and beneficial health qualities.

Audrey Louis from Harvest & Filter is excited about the potential of this new venture.
She said: “Essentially, what Harvest & Filter are doing is giving people in cities and suburban areas seeds and resources to grow their own healthy food. At the very least, people can start growing with a planter or window box and a vision of the delicious and nutritious meals they’ll create that will incorporate the food they harvest.”

Harvest & Filter pride themselves on supplying untreated, naturally occurring seeds with helpful ‘urban farming’ guides, supporting the use of organic and veganic practices towards growing food, ensuring individuals and communities have an opportunity to grow their own fresh and highly nutritious food. Can you spare a little space on your windowsill for some spearmint? Grow your own fresh herbal teas. Make salads more interesting with tomatilloes. Enjoy cut-and-come-again herbs throughout the year. Whatever you choose to grow, impress friends and family with your home crop. The ability to supply heirloom seeds is one way Harvest & Filter strengthens the use of ancient, traditional and holistic methods towards better health. https://www.harvestandfilter.co.uk/foodforhomegrowers/

According to the Office for National Statistics, the price of processed foods is falling in the UK. Meanwhile, the price of fresh fruits and vegetables continues to rise. The team at Harvest & Filter knows they have the power to help redress this unhealthy imbalance with the launch of their wild and heirloom seed store.
