Thorne Family Farm

Make a turn off Highway 1 and head uphill. Soon you’ll find yourself in a world that feels miles away from famous beaches and seaside mansions. This is the Thornes’ place, a 25-acre farm where three generations have worked the land since Larry’s parents purchased the property in 1938. Local restaurant chefs rely on the lovingly tended produce grown here, from dry-farmed tomatoes that really taste like tomatoes, to all manner of vegetables and the juicy berries – strawberries, ollaliberries, blueberries – that Thorne Family Farm is famous for. Guest chef Joshua Gill will make great use of Larry Thorne’s lovingly grown produce in the field kitchen. His Beverly Hills restaurant Mírame is known for its creative, ever-changing menu of Mexican flavors and seasonal ingredients from area farms, ranches, and fisheries. Before opening Mírame in 2020, Joshua made his mark as Chef de Cuisine at Joe’s Restaurant in Venice, helping it earn its first Michelin star back in 2008. Then he opened Tacos Punta Cabras, a shining star of L.A. ‘s Alta California cuisine, before traveling the world for many years as a restaurant consultant and chef. Expect a creative feast of contemporary Mexican fare — like salmon skin chicharron, parsnip al pastor tacos, and pressed pig face tostadas. Yum.
