Este Garden

About

Este Garden is a vibrant, green sanctuary where nature flourishes and community thrives. Nestled in East Austin, it offers a space for people to come together to grow, learn, and eat. Building on the female-led, garden-to-table legacy of the former Eastside Cafe, farmers Anamaria Gutierrez and Lea Scott broke ground at Este Garden in May of 2020. With a commitment to sustainable agriculture, their mission is to supply fresh, seasonal produce to Austin’s nationally renowned restaurants: Suerte, Este, and Bar Toti. The garden produces thousands of pounds of vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers year-round, employing environmentally-conscious growing practices including, but not limited to, low-till farming, avoidance of pesticides or chemicals, and companion planting. This holistic approach not only maximizes yield but also fosters a thriving ecosystem, benefiting people, plants, wildlife, and pollinators. As a community space, Este serves as a sanctuary inviting its visitors to engage with the land and connect with each other through the shared experience of growing food.

This garden’s estimated size is 1/3 acre.
