Who are we ?

A team of enthusiasts ready to develop urban agriculture in your projects

Our story

Légumes Perchés was born in 2020, the brainchild of a founder who, as a child, lived to the rhythm of the farm: among cows, goats, and freshly picked vegetables. While exploring the city for his studies, he realized the glaring lack of connection with nature: he missed the sound of insects, the taste of local produce, and the greenery.

Yet, his entire daily life now takes place in an urban environment, like so many others. From this realization, a strong ambition was born: to bring nature back to the heart of the city and bridge the growing gap between the countryside and the city.

Our mission

For six years, our team has been combining its skills to offer a model of urban agriculture that connects with local residents, fostering a more responsible way of consuming. We believe it's possible, step by step, to transform our habits without sacrificing the practicality of everyday life. Légumes Perchés thus creates a bridge between the desire for greenery and urban reality.
