Clever software, a three-part nutrition system, a water reserve, and powerful full-spectrum LED lights provide homegrown and nutritious herbs, salads, and tomatoes, year-round. Using 90% less water than traditional farming, minimal electricity, and recycled materials, this may be your most climate-friendly appliance.

After becoming Scandinavia’s #1 best seller in record time, the new sustainable indoor smart garden is launching in America.

By controlling light, water, and nutrients, Auk creates perfect conditions, so you always succeed with your crop. No green fingers are needed! With Auk, you can enjoy a year-round supply of sustainably grown herbs, salads, and tomatoes – right from your kitchen counter.

Your first climate-friendly appliance
We designed Auk to contribute to both the planet and your health. By growing food at home, you can improve your family’s nutrition, reduce the demand for agricultural farming, and help humanity move towards a sustainable future with vertical farming.

Growing greens in Auk is extremely resource efficient, using only 6kWh/month and 90% less water than traditional farming. Furthermore, Auk is manufactured with sustainability in mind. It’s produced in Europe, using local, sustainable materials like Scandinavian aluminum and biocomposite plastic. It even ships in 100% recyclable, plastic-free packaging.
To further minimize our climate footprint, we refurbish all end-of-life units to reuse old components. Even the plastic is reground. This makes Auk your first climate-friendly appliance.

Unveiling the Remarkable EverGrow System
Auk was born from the mind of visionary inventor Marius Abel. Unsatisfied with other options on the market, Marius set out to create a system that was completely automatic, super easy to use – and that would yield a year-round continuous crop. To achieve this, he invented the ground-breaking EverGrow system.The system is based on three vital components: The three-part nutrition system, the full-spectrum LED light, and our proprietary algorithms.
The three-part nutrient mixer creates an optimal blend of the 14 minerals that plants need to flourish, while the refillable feature makes sure it lasts the plant’s entire life cycle.
The full spectrum LED lights mimic natural sunlight, adjusting intensity and colors to tailor to each growth stage, all while enabling the plants to grow 5x faster than traditional farming.
Thanks to our algorithm, all of this runs on autopilot. Just plant your seeds, and start up Auk – and let the system take care of the rest!
The first open-system indoor garden
Compared to closed capsule systems, Auk has open-air pots where you sow seeds like in a regular garden. Choose from our 25+ pre-tested seeds or use your own. You can even plant cuttings and pre-cultivate or replant already-grown herbs. As the first open-system indoor garden, only the imagination limits what you can grow.

Auk is 20” wide, 11” deep, and 14-20” high. No sunlight is needed so you can set it up anywhere.
