Sacred Garden Gourmet

From surplus to scrumptious
Small-batch, plant-based snacks crafted from Southern California’s rescued surplus produce—because good food shouldn’t go to waste.

The Short Story

We transform farm and backyard surplus into crave-worthy, clean-label snacks. Think slow-crisped kale triangles and beet chips with simple, pronounceable ingredients. Big flavor, minimal waste, real impact.

Why We Exist

Sacred Garden Gourmet was born from a landscape design studio’s love for plants and people—and a stubborn belief that delicious should also be responsible. When we saw perfectly good harvests going uneaten, we built a bridge: rescue what’s ripe, elevate it into honest snacks, and nourish our communities.

What We Make

  • Kale Triangles — slow-crisped, never fried; sea salt, nutritional yeast, a whisper of flax.
  • Beet Chips — naturally vibrant, thin-crisp, lightly seasoned.
  • Seasonal Runs — limited batches inspired by the Southern California harvest.
  • Flavor Launch Trio
    1. Sea Salt & Umami (core) – clean, cheesy-nutty, crowd-pleaser.
    2. Garlic Paprika (savory) – smoky, bold, familiar BBQ-adjacent.
    3. Chili Lime (spicy-tangy) – zesty kick, perfect for Gen Z snackers.
  • Always plant-based, gluten-free, minimal ingredients, and made in small batches for peak flavor.

How It Works

  1. Rescue: We partner with local farms, food hubs, and home growers to source fresh surplus.
  2. Reimagine: We prep, slow-crisp, and season thoughtfully—letting the produce shine.
  3. Reinvest: A portion of proceeds supports edible gardens and youth skills programs.
