Orta Kitchen Garden
Berkeley. Established 2011.
Orta Kitchen Garden makes self-watering terracotta seed starting and microgreen planters at their Berkeley factory and store. Green to the core, their mission is to encourage people to connect to the natural world through gardening, and to make their manufacturing as eco-friendly as possible.
Orta pots are slip-cast from terracotta clay that is blended in-house to ensure its toxin-free. They’re fired only once to low temperatures to save half the energy of typical terracotta production. Glazes are lead-free, non-toxic, and custom formulated to enable their once-fire process. All products are shipped in 100% paper packaging that can be recycled or composted to give customers a zero-waste experience.
