History

Green Gulch Farm Zen Center

Founded by the San Francisco Zen Center in 1979, Greens has been credited in The New York Times as "the restaurant that brought vegetarian food out from sprout-infested health food stores and established it as a cuisine in America."

Greens has a legacy of female lead chefs, beginning with founding chef Deborah Madison, and followed by Annie Somerville, Denise St. Onge, and currently Katie Reicher. The restaurant utilizes fresh produce from the organic Green Gulch Farm Zen Center.
