Balara culminated through a common passion for health, community, self-awareness and sharing.
The world events since 2020 highlighted to us the growing need for balanced nutrition to support our immune systems. In addition to this, there is the ever-constant prevalence of food inflation.
With this in mind we embarked on a community project to start growing our own food – as in vegetables, herbs and fruit. After enjoying the benefits of our endeavours, we identified a growing need for extending this concept to like-minded citizens.
After careful consideration, research and observation we realized that not everyone has the benefit of unlimited space to grow in. And so, we explored different ways to grow food. We identified the opportunity to utilise products that complement practical and versatile growing mediums. Through personalized experience and experiments we have embarked on this journey of sharing this information and hopefully adding value to all that are curious.

Growing food can be sometimes challenging but thoroughly uplifting. Before embarking on this adventure, one should ask oneself the following:
- Do I love myself and those that are dependent on me, to ensure that our bodies are receiving the right nutrients for our health and wellbeing?
- Am I prepared to commit to putting in the effort to support the necessary and relevant tasks to grow food?
- Do I know where the current food that I am consuming comes from and what attributes does it depend on as to how it is grown?
- What would I do if my food resources were turned off at short notice, or if I could no longer afford them?
- Do I have a social responsibility to the future of generations to come – specifically your immediate children and family members?
