The Véritable® garden range

Véritable® meets the needs of city dwellers with products that are compact, reliable, silent, economical and ergonomic. Operating completely autonomously, the gardens incorporate a specially developed LED grow system, which guarantees plant growth even without outside light. The light spectrum has been optimized for optimum plant volume and enhanced flavors. The automatic irrigation system features an integrated water reservoir for up to 4 weeks' autonomy, with a visual low-level warning.

Véritable® gardens are designed to be used exclusively with Lingots®.

Lingots®: ready-to-use plant refills

Developed by Véritable®, Lingots® are a concentrate of technology for simple, effective use. The refill integrates natural substrate, nutrients and organic seeds (depending on the species). All parameters are controlled (PH, humidity level, nutrient concentration, root aeration, seed spacing, seed depth) for maximum yield. Lingots® are 100% compostable and biodegradable, without GMOs or pesticides.

Urban agriculture: a major challenge for the 21st century

Feeding tomorrow's world

Today, over 50% of the world's population lives, works and eats in cities. In France, 80% of the population lives in urban areas. This high level of urbanization is leading to rapid changes in lifestyles and new needs.

Healthy, local products

Whether we live in the city or the countryside, we're all looking for fresh, healthy, local products, of known or organic origin, from producers we can trust. These are needs that are not easy to reconcile with today's agri-food supply and conventional distribution channels.

Respect for the environment

There are many benefits to growing crops in our urban areas. These new farming methods are healthy (organic, permaculture, or at least reasoned treatments), more ecological (controlled and reduced water consumption, no soil leaching, etc.), economical, and have a significant social and societal impact. By bringing producers and consumers closer together, our entire ecosystem benefits. More interested consumers + more involved producers = better quality products.

Our awards

Véritable® warmly thanks its partners and is proud of the prizes and competitions that reward the company's innovation and vision.

Innovation, a major growth driver

Backed by our 4 registered patents, we use and maintain our local know-how and develop our knowledge in a wide range of fields.

By bringing some of our services in-house, we are able to respond quickly. Our expertise in product design and electronic engineering are key skills we draw on to develop our product ranges. 

We also design and test our new Lingot® varieties directly in our own R&D laboratory. 

Innovation, a key development driver
All the seeds for our Lingots come from French seed companies.

A meticulous selection, from seed to plate

To produce our Lingots®, we work with a number of French seed companies, carefully selecting our new seed varieties. The vast majority are organically grown and, of course, GMO-free.

Our natural biodegradable refills contain no pesticides. Our Lingots® can be composted or replanted after a first life cycle in our gardens.

Careful preparation, a guarantee of quality

Assembly and packaging are carried out directly in our workshops. Our gardens are unit-tested and some of our Lingots® are made in-house. Why do we do this? Quite simply, because at Véritable®, our standards are high, and we want to make sure that the final quality control is carried out in-house, to ensure that your shipment meets your expectations.

Careful assembly and packaging

Our trusted partners

They join us in the Véritable® adventure:

Véritable® supported by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region for export development

From the outset, Véritable® has relied on local partners, both to manufacture its products and to develop its business. In 2021, Véritable® received financial assistance from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region to recruit an export executive.

“The region's efforts are very important to us. Since 2015, we've been manufacturing exclusively in France and very locally with local partners. Regional aid enables us to grow and helps to promote direct, and indirect, employment in the region.”
