Growing Underground Farm Tour London

Growing Underground Farm Tour London

An underground farm tour - did you know there's an actual farm 33 metres under the streets of Clapham? These exclusive tours of the world's first underground farm will show you how micro herbs and salads are cultivated below ground. At street level you'd never know what's going on below! These underground farm tours start by delving into the history of the deep-level World War Two air raid shelters followed by the story of how founders Richard and Steven came up with the idea of repurposing them to create urban farms. Using hydroponic systems and LED technology (you'll notice the soft pink glow all around you!) this naturally pesticide-free underground environment is ideal for growing crops for mixed salads. By creating and controlling constant and stable conditions crops are successfully grown all year round. Crops grown at this underground farm include Coriander Wasabi Mustard Pea Shoots Garlic Chive Salad Rocket and Purple Radish. All are as fresh and tasty as can be with each tiny leaf bursting with flavour. These innovative micro salads will certainly knock your taste buds into check! What's more being right in the centre of the huge conurbation that is London it means these urban farmers provide fresh salads directly to consumers with reduced food miles and increased shelf life. Indeed pop into a local M&S or Waitrose in London and you'll find delicious mixed micro salads from this very farm. Your underground farm tour will show you just how these plants are grown underground how the founders envisage the future for this totally innovative type of sustainable farming and of course tasting the goods. You'll take home a micro salad freshly picked from the farm and full of goodness and taste. Who'd have thought all this cultivating could be happening under Clapham!
