help Square Mile Farms FAQ
Where is Square Mile Farms located?
The company operates an indoor vertical farm in Hackney, East London. Its city-center location means produce can reach London customers with minimal transport compared with imported greens.
What does Square Mile Farms grow?
It specializes in leafy greens and herbs grown hydroponically in a controlled indoor environment. Because conditions like light and temperature are managed year-round, harvests don't depend on British weather or growing seasons.
How much water does a vertical farm like this save?
Hydroponic systems recirculate water directly to plant roots, and vertical-farm operators commonly cite water savings on the order of 90 percent or more versus open-field growing. The controlled environment also eliminates the need for agricultural pesticides.
Where does Square Mile Farms sell its produce?
Its model centers on supplying nearby London customers, including offices and local food businesses that host or source from its urban growing sites. Shortening the supply chain to within the city is part of the company's pitch for fresher greens with lower food miles.
