The Berlin-based project is one of the most well-known examples of city-produced produce that makes excellent use of a formerly empty site that was formerly the location of a pre-WWII department store. All of the project's crops are grown in [portable planting containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balconyfarm-planter), a clever way to get around the city's temporary lease system, while the containers are organized to create a magical garden environment within which the [garden-to-table cafe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agriculture-by-little-red-door) sits. Open daily, this Kreuzberg garden cafe features shrouded wooden benches and serves up a new dish daily using produce harvested from the garden the very same day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Urban Farming Cafes:** Creating garden-to-table cafes that feature menus using produce harvested the very same day from nearby urban farms. - **Portable Container Farming:** Using portable planting containers to grow produce in urban environments, an innovative solution to the challenge of the city's temporary lease system. - **Magical Garden Environments:** Creating magical garden environments within urban areas to provide a unique and charming location for cafes and restaurants that feature garden-fresh produce. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality Industry:** Opportunity for the hospitality industry to integrate urban farming and garden-to-table concepts into their restaurant and cafe offerings, providing a unique selling point for customers seeking a fresh and sustainable dining experience. - **Farming Industry:** Opportunity for farming industry to innovate and adapt to new urban agriculture practices, such as portable container farming, to supply the growing demand for fresh and locally-sourced produce. - **Real Estate Industry:** Opportunity for real estate industry to utilize vacant spaces to create urban farming projects, adding value to their properties and providing a unique amenity for tenants and nearby residents. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Foldable Greenhouse Kitchens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-greenhouse-is-your-kitchen.md) - [Fruit Tree Edible Neighbourhoods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rijnvliet.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetment-vegetable-cultivator.md) - [Shielded Screen Garden Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/island-gardens-cafe.md) - [Minimalist Indoor Gardening Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balconyfarm-pot.md) - [Automated Commercial Kitchen Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instafarm.md) - [Plant-Powered Restaurant Takeovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restaurant-takeover.md) - [Soil-Free Garden Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-system.md) - [Italian Rooftop Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/public-gardens.md)
