Urban Rooftop Farming Meets Exquisite Design

Farm Urbana is an urban farming boutique enterprise that offers so much more than just rooftop gardening.

Sure, we’re experts at growing high-quality produce on top of residential buildings of any size. But what makes Farm Urbana unique is how we blend farming with design principles.

Our custom rooftop gardens yield a bounty of delicious fresh produce, and a feast for the eyes, too. We install lush, vertical gardens in artful combinations that delight tenants. The result: a unique lifestyle amenity ideal for buildings of any size.

Farm Urbana: A True “Growth” Opportunity.

We’re able to grow and cultivate nutritious produce on rooftops by using lightweight, vertical, hydroponic systems. This eco-friendly approach cuts the use of land, labor, energy, and 90% of water used in traditional gardening.

Moreover, it allows you to enjoy some pretty amazing environments with minimal upkeep, adding value and appeal to your property.

Farm Urbana is a complete solution. We offer consultation, design, installation, coaching and maintenance. We strive to make every client experience exceptional.

Superior Yield of Tower Garden

University of Mississippi Researchers

Confirm Superior Yield of Tower Garden

P1070940Researchers at the University of Mississippi have confirmed what experienced Tower Gardeners everywhere already know: Tower Garden by Juice Plus+ yields more produce, more quickly than traditional soil-based gardening.

We asked researchers at the University of Mississippi National Center for Natural Products Research to put Tower Garden to the test by comparing the “yield” of produce grown aeroponically by Tower Garden® to the yield from the same types of plants grown in soil ­ ­– under identical growing conditions.

The researchers grew eight different vegetables and herbs – tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, squash, chard, green basil, parsley, and red kale – side-by-side, in Tower Gardens and in the soil. They planted both sets of crops on the same day, and also later harvested samples of healthy, mature crops on the same day for analysis. The total yield of each crop was calculated and compared between the field-grown plants and Tower Garden-grown plants. Read more
