Collaborate
What we're looking for
What collaboration looks like
Brand activation
Your brand becomes part of the story — not a logo on a banner. We weave your product, ingredient, or mission into the experience in a way that feels genuine and memorable.
Ingredient or product spotlight
We build experiences around what you grow, make, or source. From honey tastings to herbal collections, your product becomes the lens through which guests understand the food system.
Venue or garden partnership
We bring the experience to your space. If you have a garden, farm, kitchen, or venue with a story worth telling, we'd love to build something there together.
Private or corporate experiences
Bring your team or clients to the table. We design bespoke experiences for groups who want something more meaningful than a standard event — rooted in place, rich in story.
Partners so far
Each chapter of In Season has been built alongside partners whose work is deeply aligned with our values, from the farm that grounds us to the scientists and artists who help us tell the story right.
A regenerative farm and community learning center rooted in National City, San Diego. Olivewood provided the living garden, the seasonal produce, and sixteen years of food education infrastructure that made In Bloom possible.
ESTE debuted their spring herbal collection at In Bloom, sourced from a small farm in the Sashima region of Japan. Their commitment to transparent sourcing and producer storytelling is exactly the kind of partnership OCF is built for.
Local San Diego seaweed for the Into the Kelp Forest menu came from The Smith Lab's own research on how kelp forests grow, struggle, and recover along our coast. Real specimens from that same ecosystem sat alongside the food on the table.
The Cultured Abalone Farm supplied ranched Santa Barbara uni, ogo, and dulse for Into the Kelp Forest, pairing land and sea across a menu that moved from the kelp canopy down to the seafloor.
Guests wove through an installation of Oriana's cyanotype-printed kelp forest silk panels at Into the Kelp Forest. A photographic artist and marine biologist, her work has been published by Smithsonian Magazine, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.
Whether you have a fully formed concept or just a feeling that something interesting could happen — reach out. The best collaborations start with a conversation.
