The company started in 2009 after found and inventor, Matt Harris found himself struggling to take advantage of homegrown, fresh food. "After failing to grow my own veggies, I realised there must be a lot of people out there like me so I worked to solve the problems associated with urban farming and invented the Vegepod," he said. Since then the company has continued to grow and a decade later, now has 11 country offices.
Marketing Assistant, Suzie Evans, said the team will be located at Field Days site E36B and encouraged everyone to come along and check out what makes Vegepod so different.
