SMART GROWING. LIFE, CLOSER.
From garden to plate, without going around the world. Grow with water that returns and technology that works alongside you.
MADRID · SINCE 2019
What is not absorbed is reused.
EVERY DROP HAS A FUTURE
It nourishes the roots, returns to the reservoir and starts again. Keeping water in circulation means growing with less — and caring for what the next harvest will need.
Empty system
Why it matters
Spain is among the most water-stressed countries in Europe, with aquifers emptying faster than they recharge.3
How we measure it →About these figures
The system's starting point, not a promise of ours.1
Sector reference range. Huertify unit performance is measured and published separately.
The garden, ten metres from your plate.
Soil-free growing in a closed loop that runs almost by itself: the software handles irrigation, climate, stock and harvest. For homes, restaurants, growers and villages — and to bring fresh vegetables to those who no longer have them nearby.
The value isn't the box, it's the software that runs it. How the Engineering Deck works →
YOUR SPACE, YOUR CROP
From the kitchen counter to a whole village.
The closed loop and the growing systems are the same; what changes is the scale of the modular installation. Four formats to suit the need. The specific models —capacity, footprint, spec sheet— are published once they've been measured.
Your next salad starts at home.
For a home kitchen. Fresh herbs and leaves all year round, a step from the chopping board. No more buying a bag of basil to use half of it.
Your freshest ingredient is a few steps away.
For a professional kitchen that wants to cut to order at the pass. Steady, traceable leaves, herbs and fruit, with no transport or cold-store loss. Flavour picked metres from the table.
Grow close to the people who buy from you.
For those who sell. Batches of leaves, herbs and fruit for market and local shops, with minimal water cost and production all year round.
A harvest that brings a whole village closer.
A large modular installation to supply a whole village. The pack can include the distribution and sales system: residents buy top-quality produce well below supermarket prices.
LOCAL PRODUCTION, CONNECTED
FIG. 2 — VILLAGE NETWORK. Each cluster has its own Huertify unit; a central installation coordinates and supplies them. The village produces as a network, not from a single point.
The hub shown at the centre of the image sits near a village and brings together growing, order preparation and local delivery. Produce harvested in the morning can be sorted by destination and delivered to shops, restaurants and collection points in several nearby villages that same day. Short routes and orders planned before harvest make this possible; the service area and schedules are adapted to the distances and needs of each network.
Electricity use is a market estimate for equivalent systems; the measured figure for each Huertify installation is published with its method. LED lighting is the bulk of the cost — with good natural light, it drops. The closed-loop pump, running intermittently, adds barely anything.
From harvest to plate
Freshness starts at harvest. Cooling, packing and transport shape the journey to the shelf. Its duration depends on the crop and the route. Beside the kitchen, you can pick what you will eat today.
FARM TO SUPERMARKET · EUROPE
Farm
Illustrative 14-day timeline, retaining the original page’s stages. These days are invented for the animation, not measured European averages. Steps may overlap or occur in a different order; washing depends on the crop and presentation.
Seven stages, from the farm to the supermarket shelf.
FRESHNESS, WITHOUT THE JOURNEY
With Huertify · two steps · 0 days. No warehouse, no transport, no shelf.
The Spanish ministry’s lettuce value-chain study describes the route through a packing centre, distribution platform and supermarket. We use it to explain the route, not to assign durations. Storage life does not establish the time since harvest.
EVERY DROP COUNTS
Nutrient-rich water circulates, feeds the roots and returns to the tank filtered. Whatever the plant doesn't take up is reused. The system tops up; it doesn't squander.
FIG. 1 — CLOSED LOOP. The dotted line marks where the water would be lost in a traditional system; here it returns to the tank.
Growing systems
We don't force every vegetable through the same channel. Huertify has four growing systems, each the best fit for a family of plant. That's why things grow well here that don't in other set-ups: from leaf to tuber. Strawberries and tomatoes are among our best results.
Leaves and herbs: lettuce, spinach, chard, rocket, basil, parsley, coriander, mint.
Tall fruiting plants: tomato, pepper, cucumber.
Strawberries and trailing fruit, in a raised channel.
Roots and tubers: potato, carrot; and cutting propagation.
Conceptual 3D cross-sections showing how each system works.
We choose the growing system according to what you want to produce; you can combine several in one installation. Specific varieties and yields are provided with the unit.
GROWING WITH HUERTIFY
Huertify regulates watering, nutrients and climate. You choose what to grow and follow the plants through these three main tasks.
Pick your crops. Huertify assigns them to the appropriate growing system.
Transfer the trays from germination to the growing area when they are ready.
Engineering Deck lets you know when to pick. Cut what you need, when you need it.
Each unit’s manual explains maintenance and replenishment tasks.
Retrofitting
We're not here to replace the field, but to improve it. We also retrofit traditional growing systems, keeping the best of both worlds: soil and sun where they already work, precision and savings where they're needed. It adapts to what's there; it doesn't force you to start from scratch.
In sunny areas, we integrate a light-control system that makes the most of the sun and only tops it up with LED when needed. More sun used, a smaller bill — without giving up year-round production.
ENGINEERING DECK
The software that runs Huertify is built specifically for the system. It's not a thermostat with an app: it's the installation's command bridge, and it makes it possible to produce on demand, out of season and without waste.

Harvest example: rocket today; basil in 4 days. Not guaranteed growing times.
Interface concept. Illustrative data, not live telemetry.
What you have, at what stage and how much is going out, in real time. Every tray traced from seed to cut.
Customers reserve a harvest by choosing specific crops before they're sown. You produce what's already sold — zero surplus.
Out-of-season produce, all year round, with no more electricity or water use than in season. The climate is adjusted, not forced.
no extra energy costCameras and thermal cameras track growth automatically. The system detects and corrects before a problem is visible to the naked eye.
camera + thermal · automatedSupport
Every unit ships with a complete repair manual. No sealed boxes.
A parts list with named suppliers. You can buy them from Huertify or from a qualified equivalent.
Nutrients with published formula and dosage. No brand lock-in.
Optional, cancellable and separate from the equipment's basic warranty.
Transparency
We don't make plant growth depend on an app. The monitoring electronics speed things up and fine-tune them, but the plant doesn't rely on them. The only subscriptions are consumables —nutrients, with published formula and dosage— and an optional service plan, cancellable and separate from the equipment warranty.
This is the publishing standard, not a figure in progress. The measured spec sheets will appear here as units come online; until then, we'd rather not give a number before we can stand behind it.
Get involved
Two ways to join Huertify: bring a hub to your village or institution, or invest in a project that measures first and scales later.
Villages & institutions
A hub that produces and delivers to the region: fresh vegetables for the elderly, a service for councils, care homes and schools, and local jobs. Short chain and low water use.
