The idea to open The Urban Farmer came from a desire for delicious, sustainably sourced food with a freshness that can only come from a farmer’s own kitchen and pantry. To create a space that transports consumers straight to the source of their food so that they can feel more connected with what they eat. A place where the food offering is organic, seasonal and as fresh as if you picked it from your own garden. Food that is also slow. Real nutritionally rich food, not fast food that is made to look cheap but hides its expense on the environment, labourers and our bodies.

Organic food is fundamentally based on the striking relationship between man and nature.

The Urban Farmer offers chemical free and organic food with a genuine packaging sensitivity. The intention here is to connect people to the elements of the ecosystem on which our life and all life depends. Industrial agriculture and the manufacturing practices that dominate the world feeding system are largely responsible for not only the toxic build up of planet earth, but also the human body. These toxins have the power to destroy thriving ecosystems out there and in here. Both result in disease. The packaging that our food is packed in also has the power to add toxicity to planet earth and the human body, as well as to stifle existing and thriving ecosystems. Plastic, unlike everything else in nature cannot biodegrade.
