The Cook’s Garden by Home Grown Edible Landscapes –
Grow like the Pros because the Pros grow for you! The Cook’s Garden supports the growing food revolution by promoting our approach to hyper-locavorism; returning to our agrarian past and bringing it back into our way of life. Our urban farmers work with local residents and the best and brightest chefs and mixologists in the heart of Venice, custo

m growing the culinary ingredients for both the professional and home kitchen. Our practice is committed to maintaining a minimal carbon footprint through sustainable organic methods, regenerative soil management and practices. The garden is also a powerful outreach tool, spreading the wisdom of adopting an organic practice approach to gardening and a re-connection to how food is grown. People come together in our garden drawn perhaps by a common desire to learn this ancient skill or maybe just to reminisce about childhood memories in their own family’s garden long ago.

“If every backyard garden had a pizza stand, the world would be a happier place. Just look at Fiorelli Pizza, an outdoor pop-up from the chef behind Love & Salt that’s open Thursday through Sunday (weather permitting) inside The Cook’s Garden, a working urban farm on Abbot Kinney in Venice. The menu and operation are stripped-down, but the surroundings are so lush, Adam and Eve would have considered booking the place on Airbnb. Still, the main attraction is the excellent wood-fired pizza with puffy, leopard-spotted crust—especially the fennel sausage pie topped with fava greens plucked straight from the planter. Enjoy them at a picnic table while you stare lovingly at a bunny between slices.”

Am not in Venice anymore! #crazyweather #hail #venicebeach

Monday mornin’ salad with Blue and Jelly Bean - our rescue bunnies.Jelly was born with mostly paralyzed front legs and then lost the use of one of his back legs at about two months old. He’s 10 months old now. He’s doing fine. No signs of being in pain (rabbits have def signals) and has a voracious appetite (and a sweet tooth we try not to indulge too often). Pees and poops like a champ and responds to his name and my voice. He LOVES being stroked on the forehead and craves pets all o we. Puts him to sleep! Blue’s a character and a good friend to Jelly. You’ll see them cuddling up together often. Blue is feisty and friendly and loves to play. Blue is 9 months old. #bunniesofinstagram #rescuebunnies #rescuebunniesofinstagram #bunniesworldwide #hollandlop #minirex #urbanfarm #urbanfarming #patthebunny #neighborhoodfarm

Grow Green - Eat Well - Have Fun

The Cook’s Garden by Home Grown Edible Landscapes – Grow like the Pros because the Pros grow for you!

The Cook’s Garden by HGEL supports the growing food revolution by promoting HGEL’s approach to hyper-locavorism. The HGEL urban growers at The Cook’s Garden will work with the best and brightest chefs and mixologists as well as home cooks on Abbot Kinney’s restaurant row in the heart of Venice, custom growing the culinary ingredients for both the professional and home kitchen…. all with a minimal carbon footprint and sustainable organic practice focussing on sustainable soil management and rejuvenation. The gardens will also be a powerful outreach tool spreading the wisdom of adopting an organic practice approach to gardening throughout the community and a re-connection to how food is grown. Home cook box leases can be shared by up to two families or gardeners (must designate one responsible billing party - one invoice issued monthly – one payment processed). We’re proud of our relationships with these fine chefs and restaurants : Scopa Italian Roots (Antonia Lo Faso), The Tasting Kitchen (Casey Lane), Tender Greens, Redbird (Neal Fraser), Guerrilla Tacos (Wes Avila), Leona and Native (Nyesha Arrington), Love and Salt (Michael Fiorelli), Union Restaurant (Bruce Kalman), Mar’sel (Terranea Resort). HGEL plans to bring the Abbot Kinney “pop-up farm” prototype to suitable vacant lots in other active restaurant and retail locations making our brand of “hyper-locavorism” available for neighborhood restaurants all over LA. Each location will also offer a retail nursery and an outdoor classroom for community “edible education” featuring topics from composting to food preserving and, of course, how to succeed at growing food organically at home.
