Like all the best things in life, BIPOC and woman-owned Malibu Farm started small and grew organically. Chef Helene Henderson launched the concept with cooking classes and backyard dinners at her home in Malibu, California: a coastal farm where free-range, feather-footed chickens roam alongside pet goats who love to walk on the beach. Here on the East Coast, Malibu Farm New York delivers Chef Henderson’s signature hospitality via farm-to-table menus, family-style dining, and year-round California vibes at Pier 17.

Staying true to the original farm-to-table concept, the menu celebrates ingredients that are local, seasonal, sustainably sourced, and undeniably delicious. Family-style seating and myriad offerings for vegetarians, vegans, pescatarians, and omnivores make Malibu Farm New York the go-to destination for a laid-back, top-quality dinner, lunch, or weekend brunch at the Seaport.
