Our Story
Reconnecting communities with nature
Our Mission
Transforming urban spaces into thriving ecosystems
MicroHabitat was founded in 2016 by Orlane and Alexandre Ferrari Roy, two childhood friends from Montreal united by a shared vision: making urban agriculture accessible to everyone. Charles Jackson soon joined as a founding member — the complementarity was obvious.
Today, we operate the largest network of urban farms in the world, transforming underused rooftops and spaces into productive, ecological farms across North America and Europe.
Join us in cultivating healthier, more sustainable urban environments—one rooftop at a time.

Nourishing communities
At MicroHabitat, we believe urban farming should nourish more than just buildings—it should nourish communities. As part of our program, clients have the option to donate the fresh produce grown on their sites to local food banks and community kitchens.
Fighting Hunger, One Pot at a Time
Every MicroHabitat pot sold supports Team No Kid Hungry and The Breakfast Club of Canada. For each individual pot we set up, we donate 1 to 3 meals to help ensure children across North America have access to nutritious food—because growing healthy communities starts with feeding them.
