La Vida Lokal: proud providers of healthy, circular food to Berliners.

We upcycle urban waste streams like coffee grounds and coffee husks from partner cafes and restaurants, produce fresh, local, healthy food with minimal carbon footprint, and support refugee integration through work opportunities.

La Vida Lokal is a German-Brazilian family-owned company based in Berlin, Germany. Our products are supervised by neurologist, psychiatrist and psychotherapist Dr. med Lukas Hirt (Yale Medical School, University of Southampton, Charité - Universitätsmedizin). Please check scientific literature references below.

Our Berlin Partners

From waste to healthy fresh food. Twice.

Every week, we collect used coffee grounds from partner Cafes in Berlin, bring them to our vertical farm, combine them with other natural ingredients and pasteurize the final mix to make a balanced substrate that mushrooms love. After harvesting the mushrooms, we upcycle the used substrate again into a rich compost that we use to grow healthy and delicious microgreens: broccoli, radish, rucola, salad mix, and soon many other.

Harvest-day fresh, 100% lokal, totally delicious, zero chemicals.

Our vertical production happens indoor in a controlled environment, with automated monitoring of temperature, humidity, fresh air exchange and lighting. This is how we keep the best climate conditions for both mushrooms and microgreens and avoid the need for chemicals or any substance that could compromise the quality of the food we produce.

Microgreens: up to 40 times more nutrition than traditional vegetables.

Studies have shown that microgreens can have up to 40 times the amount of nutrients in comparison to traditional vegetables (please see references below). Flavour is also concentrated: radish (photo) and arugula, for example, are intense and crisp - they bring a sparkling taste and beautiful finish to any recipe.
