You Can Get Pesticide-Free Veggies Delivered Right To Your Doorstep

From the farm straight to your table.

Most vegetables from regular supermarkets are often filled with pesticides and chemicals to make them look fresher and last longer

Not only is it difficult to find good vegetables throughout the year that are chemical-free, there are also other factors to consider during the farming process, such as unpredictable weather and environmental damage.

All of which adds to the availability and price.

Cultiveat hopes to change that by being the first to practise sustainable farming in Malaysia.

They use eco-friendly methods to grow vegetables that are pesticide and GMO-free – plus, they can deliver it straight to your home!

The vegetables are grown on urban farms, which minimises land degradation, wastage, and carbon emissions.

And they also provide jobs to marginalised communities who live near the farms.

Their newly-launched online market offers two options: Lettuce mix and Summer Crisp lettuce
