Market Street Farms
Transform Your Landscape Into a Productive Asset
Beautifully designed landscapes that strategically feed families, improve health, and build long-term resilience.
We design, install, and maintain organic, edible landscapes that help homeowners get more from their land — healthier food, lower long-term costs, and a deeper connection to where they live.
Why This Matters
A productive landscape isn’t about doing more — it’s about designing with intention.
Most residential landscapes are designed around appearance and routine maintenance. But beneath the surface, they represent something far more valuable: land.
When landscapes are planned with intention, they can do more than look good — they can quietly support everyday life while remaining thoughtfully designed.
Land Is an Asset
Residential land is one of the few resources homeowners control directly. When designed well, it can produce food, improve soil, and become more valuable over time — instead of requiring constant replacement and upkeep.
Food Quality Starts at Home
As grocery costs rise and food quality becomes harder to assess, many homeowners are rethinking where their food comes from. An integrated edible garden adds margin — improving access to fresh, healthy food without turning the yard into a farm.
Gardens Support Real Family Life
For many households, gardens become places of gathering and learning. Guests are welcomed with meals from the garden, children see how food grows, and the landscape becomes a lived-in part of daily life rather than something kept at arm’s length.
Stewardship Improves Over Time
Landscapes designed and cared for with long-term intention tend to improve rather than degrade. Soil health increases, maintenance becomes more predictable, and the garden grows more balanced and resilient year after year.
Our Approach
At Market Street Farms, our work sits at the intersection of landscape design, edible gardening, and stewardship — bringing these elements together in a way that’s practical, attractive, and sustainable for homeowners over the long term.
How It Works
Good landscapes aren’t installed once — they’re designed, established, and cared for over time.
We approach gardens the way designers approach any living space — starting with intention, followed by thoughtful execution, and supported by care that protects both beauty and function over time.
Design With Intention
Every project begins with a landscape plan tailored to your property, goals, and daily life. We focus first on how the space should look, feel, and function — integrating edible plants, layout, soil health, and long-term care from the start.
The goal is a garden that fits naturally into your life, rather than one that creates ongoing work.
Install With Care
Once the design is set, we carry it through to installation with consistency and attention to detail. From soil preparation and bed construction to planting and seasonal setup, each element is installed to support both the design intent and long-term garden health.
Clean execution and minimal disruption ensure the landscape feels complete and intentional from day one.
Maintain With Purpose
Landscapes improve when they’re cared for consistently and with intention. Ongoing maintenance, seasonal transitions, and guidance help the garden mature gracefully while continuing to do what it was designed to do.
Whether you prefer to be hands-on, hands-off, or somewhere in between, care is aligned to your goals — not a fixed routine.
What Happens Next?
Most projects begin with a short planning intake to understand your property, goals, and constraints. This helps us determine whether your landscape is a good candidate for the kind of work we do — and whether we’re the right fit for you.
We review every submission personally and follow up with clear next steps only if it makes sense to continue. There’s no pressure, no obligation, and no automated sales process.
Seasonal Garden Care
Not every landscape transformation needs to happen all at once. Seasonal garden care offers a practical way to build momentum by working with the natural rhythm of the year.
The Annual Rhythm (At a Glance)
- Fall focuses on soil building, transition, and setting the stage for what comes next.
- Winter is a season of clarity — reviewing structure, refining design, and preparing systems.
- Spring is the most active season — planting, establishment, and early care that determines the year’s success.
- Summer is about maintaining what was planted — irrigation, harvest, and plant health through the heat.
This rhythm keeps gardens visually balanced while quietly preparing them to do more over time — without sacrificing thoughtful design.
Fall Care
Transition & Soil Building
Fall is a pivotal season for closing out the growing year and strengthening the garden’s foundation. Our fall care focuses on harvesting, soil improvement, and preparation for cooler months.
Fall care may include:
- Final harvest and cleanup of summer crops
- Collection of leaf litter and organic material for composting
- Soil preparation, compost application, and seasonal amendments
- Planting fall and winter vegetables from seed or starts
- Bed shaping and layout refinement
Ideal for homeowners who want to capture the full value of the growing season while preparing their garden to remain productive through cooler months.
Winter Care
Review & Preparation
With plants dormant and beds exposed, winter reveals the underlying structure of the garden. This is when thoughtful planning has the greatest impact.
Winter care may include:
- Review of the garden’s skeletal structure and layout
- Identifying opportunities for design refinement
- Planning and design adjustments based on the past season
- Retooling and enhancing irrigation for efficiency and reliability
- Collecting, organizing, and augmenting seed banks
- Beginning early spring crops from seed where appropriate
- Bed protection, pruning, and cleanup for long-term health
Designed to simplify the season while strengthening the foundation for a productive and well-balanced spring.
Spring Care
Planting & Establishment
Spring is the busiest and most influential season in the garden. Early decisions and care determine how the landscape performs for the rest of the year.
Spring care may include:
- Designating and preparing strategic planting locations
- Planting seed starts and early crops
- Early weed management to reduce pressure later in the season
- Confirming irrigation functionality and making seasonal adjustments
- Pruning for structure, airflow, and healthy growth
- Compost application and soil building to support establishment
Spring care sets the tone for the entire growing season — helping landscapes establish quickly, stay balanced, and support both beauty and productivity.
A Flexible Way to Begin
Seasonal care allows homeowners to start thoughtfully — improving soil, structure, and plant health over time without committing to a full transformation all at once.
Many clients begin with one season and build gradually as their landscape matures.
Start With a Landscape Plan
Thoughtful by Design. Flexible by Nature.
The first step is a planning conversation to understand your landscape, your goals, and how beauty and productivity can work together on your property.
Market Street Farms approaches each project intentionally. Rather than quick installs or one-size-fits-all solutions, we start by listening, evaluating the site, and considering how the landscape should function over time — across seasons and stages.
Whether you’re looking to be hands-on, hands-off, or somewhere in between, the planning process helps clarify what makes sense for your land and your life. Many clients begin with a small step and build gradually as the landscape matures.
If you’d like to explore what’s possible for your property, the next step is a simple planning intake. We review each submission personally and follow up within one business day if it looks like a good fit.
Who We Are
Market Street Farms is a small, planning-led landscape practice focused on helping homeowners design and care for productive, organic-forward gardens that fit real lives.
We work locally and intentionally, limiting the number of projects we take on so each landscape receives thoughtful attention — from early planning through ongoing care. Rather than one-size-fits-all installs, our work emphasizes long-term function, seasonal rhythm, and landscapes that improve over time.
We serve homeowners throughout Los Angeles County, Ventura County, and the surrounding areas.
