Grown in InvertiGro’s sealed grow cubes with exactly what the plants need (nothing more and nothing less), herbs begin their life in InvertiGro’s Indoor Vertical Farm in Rosebery.
Fully mature plants are transported less than 2kms to the Metro Park Sydney store* for sale on the same day they are harvested and packed;
* and only 8km to Woolworths Metro Double Bay
Those herbs that still have a little more growing to do, are transplanted to InvertiGro’s in-store InvertiWall where Woolworths Metro Customers can see indoor farming in action and purchase hyperlocal living herbs.
InvertiGro is proud to have partnered with Woolworths Metro to bring Australia’s first in-store vertical farm to Park Sydney Village and Double Bay customers.
Under “the Urban Garden” branding, InvertiGro’s in-store InvertiWall showcases vertical farming in action.
Shoppers can see their herbs growing in-store with InvertiGro’s innovative farming technology; whilst also enjoying a fresh and flavoursome hyperlocal new herb range.
A showcase for innovative Australian indoor vertical farming solutions in action, this partnership introduces consumers, retailers and fresh-produce suppliers to the benefits and broader possibilities of indoor vertical farming; and how InvertiGro's technology can enable businesses to produce healthy, fresh produce .. Everywhere.
