The Urban Cultivator (Reviews/Ratings/Price)

February 21st, 2014 | 1 min. read

The average distance food travels from farm to plate is 1500 miles. Now think of the trucks, warehouses and gas expended to carry food.

Urban Cultivator will be the newest product addition here at Yale. I really like this concept of growing your own herbs and veggies. It looks like and is the size of an under counter refrigerator, but is very different.   The main benefits are no pests and therefore no pesticides, so it's fresher and tastier than store bought vegetables.

The Cultivator is run by computer interface so there is no guesswork. You buy the seeds directly from Urban Cultivator. You can grow them year round or start your outside garden inside. You need power and a water source to the machine, that's about all. It;s easy, organic and will save money.

Have a look at The Urban Cultivator

You can grow pretty much any herb and vegetable in about 4 weeks. We will be growing some veggies at Yale.

The Urban Cultivator will be at Yale March 1 and should cost $2,200.

UPDATE:

When we got our Urban Cultivator installed we made a short video showing the Cultivator in action. There's still about two weeks until we can harvest.

And this is what our first grow looked like after one week. It's coming along very well...
