Urban Agriculture

Urban agriculture isn’t some theoretical pretty idea — We’re actively experimenting with business models to learn what works.

At my home garden in Westchester (L.A. 90045), I maintain a growing ground for Matt VanDiepen of HomeGrown Gardens.  You can find HomeGrown Gardens (and buy my plants) at

  • Mar Vista Farmers Market, Sundays 9-2, Venice & Grandview, LA 90066

Here are some of the plants we cultivate (availability varies with the seasons):
