Safwa is a leader in automated hydroponic, aeroponic and aquaponic farming, built and maintained locally by in-house experienced engineers at the Alfardan family farm, “Wahat Al-Shafalahia”.
The farm, started in 1975, grows a variety of vegetables in greenhouses, which act as a protective microclimate, providing consistent temperatures and humidity, and efficiently using resources to ensure higher yields where otherwise harsh environmental conditions in Qatar would limit produce production.
Top-quality produce is grown with cutting-edge, environmentally friendly farming technology that requires no soil, protecting the most valuable asset, the land, and growing vegetables where otherwise the climate would not allow. At Safwa, the aim is for customers to experience the freshest, best-tasting, local produce at their doorstep.
In addition, Safwa uses indoor hydroponic systems, which require no soil to grow vegetables and are up to 90% more efficient in their use of water. Production increases 3 to 10 times in the same amount of space, decreasing the time between harvest and consumption, and increasing the nutritional value of the end-product. No chemicals or pest control products are needed when operating such systems.
At Safwa, the land is trusted, and great measures are taken in ensuring the land is protected, so that it remains as generous as the day the farm opened. Farming methods protect the land and Safwa products are grown with the highest levels of care and attention. After all, plants need nurturing just as much as humans. High quality, fresh produce will nurture the end consumer just as it has been nurtured.
