Project Plant: Farm-to-Table Pizza Experience by Samsung

Project Plant, the UK’s first urban farm-to-table pizzeria was held at The Film Shed.

I booked a ticket to go because I liked the idea that you could pick your own toppings for your own pizza.

The restaurant behind the pizzas are purezza which is a vegan restaurant I tried a while ago so I was familiar with their tasty pizzas. 
The Tickets include access to the urban farm, a pizza by Purezza, and a drink of your choice.

The Film shed was conveniently located on a high street in Dalston so it was easy to get there.

When you arrive at The Film Shed, you go downstairs and there are the geometric domes which are illuminated inside.

The first dome is red with tomato plants that are hydroponically grown controlled by Samsung SmartThings connected platform which changes the colour of the lights in the tomato dome.

This is the first stop where you pick your tomatoes.

The second dome was my favourite as it was blue where mushrooms were grown in low light and misty damp conditions.

There was white, grey and yellow oyster mushrooms.

To harvest, you just snip them with scissors.

The third and final dome was white where the basil and rocket were grown.

The plants were vertically farmed because it saves space as well as being effective when it is watered as the nutrients not used at the top will be recycled as it goes down due to gravity.

After getting my ingredients, I handed them over to the team at Purezza and got my freshly made pizza with those toppings.

The mushrooms were definitely the star of the show as they were earthy and tasty and then you have the signature vegan mozzarella which is made of Rice by Mozzerella.

Overall, I would say it was the best experience picking your own ingredients as well as being able to eat a tasty pizza at the end.
