WHO WE ARE
Balcony Box was born out of our founding team’s shared passion for growing food and the sense of self-sufficiency that comes with it. We desire to empower you to move towards that sense of self-sufficiency and self-reliance. This desire is what inspired our simple mission:
We teach urban dwellers to sustainably grow their own food, wherever they live.
WHAT WE VALUE
We are driven by sustainability. We strive to do business in a way that minimizes our carbon footprint, and we teach our customers to do the same. This means we source local, renewable & repurposed materials wherever possible to create our products and packaging.
We are commited to supporting minority economy. We are founded by a diverse team, woman-owned, and committed to partnering with other minority-owned businesses.
