Urban Freedom

A greenhouse from Urban Freedom is a new force in affordable sustainability. Our robust greenhouses provide warmth, shelter and protection for whatever you decide to grow. Many of us want to know that what we are eating is organic, GMO and pesticide free and there is no better way to do this than to grow it ourselves. We believe that growing your own vegetables is not just a basic human right and a privilege, but a way to live in harmony with nature. Knowing that the food you prepare is fresh, tasty, organic and pesticide free adds satisfaction and value to your family meals. If you have children the greenhouse is a great way to allow them to experience and learn the pleasure of growing things. Feeding your family truly organic produce will not only alleviate your grocery bill but ensures the quality of the food you consume.

We are of Italian origin and firmly believe in slow food and nourishing home cooked meals. We love  fresh herbs, chilli and greens and tomatoes and it is this passion for quality food that has driven us to manufacture a greenhouse that everyone can use. Heirloom vegetables are a particular passion and there is nothing more delicious than Italian purple broccoli, magnificent tomatoes and other tasty and traditional produce. We are constantly experimenting to see what we can grow and are looking forward to results.

Our parent company, Armafix Engineering was established in 1969 and originally manufactured mining equipment. The business relocated to the Western Cape a few years ago and we quickly realised that vegetable gardening in the windy, sandy conditions here is not easy. As we want to eat fresh, organic produce it was decided that a greenhouse would be the best solution. Of course you cannot just pop down to the shop and buy one, and being engineers it made sense to make our own.

Our vision is closely linked to the name Urban Freedom. We want to empower all people living in urban areas the freedom to grow their own food. Not only for their health and wellbeing, but to help sustain our planet.
