After noticing all the untapped potential of rooftop space in London, Patrick and Johnno set up a farm on one in Paddington, with the idea of growing and supplying fresh produce to people working locally, and Square Mile Farms was born. The urban farming company now puts hydroponic vertical farms (that’s growing without soil) into offices, residential buildings and restaurants. The farms provide locals with fresh local produce, connect people with the food that they eat through harvesting sessions, and encourage conversations about sustainability, nutrition and mental wellbeing. Square Mile Farms has been involved in the city’s largest on-site hydroponic farm at The Orangery restaurant on Tottenham Court Road, and in the Urban Farmer Project in the Fleet Street Quarter, where it turned an empty space into an urban farm, providing produce to be made into meals for those facing food insecurity.
