Story
Founded in 2021 by Jenny and Alex, Pleasant Plants is a bootstrapped, independent brand based in Zürich, Switzerland. Our products are made in Switzerland and sold directly to consumers, with the mission to enable everyone to contribute to more sustainable food production.
Values
We value customer experience, quality and fairness and we iterate our processes as many times as necessary to ensure them.
Most of us are graduates from Swiss universities. With our team's diverse backgrounds in biology, engineering, physics, computer science and mathematics, we do everything in our power to enrich the farming sector with science-based and future-proof technology.
Production
Our systems are fully designed, engineered, tested and produced in Switzerland. We ensure that we use local and fair resources to the best of our abilities.
Our production partner APPISBERG makes it possible to produce high quality products while making a positive social impact. More info on them here.

Environment
We want to provide an alternative to harmful agricultural practices and give an option that is clean and efficient, reduces emissions and chemical pollution, and saves water and nutrients.
Hydroponic systems need up to 90% less water and 60% less nutrients compared to traditional farming. Plus, there are no emissions from transport, no food waste due to spoiling, and no environmental pesticide and herbicide pollution.
We want to bring breakthrough food production innovations to the world.
That's why we work with Agroscope, the Swiss centre of excellence for agricultural research, and are supported by Innosuisse, the Swiss innovation agency.
Through continued research we optimise every aspect of our systems and make sure to develop and implement science-based improvements.
