Ek Biç Ye İç is a space where we “Plant’n Harvest Eat’n Drink”. At the edge of Taksim Square in Istanbul, we grow herbs, salads, and vegetables using various urban farming methods. With in-house grown/locally sourced ingredients, we serve a soup and salad based menu. We also house a resource hub, which offers an ongoing event and workshop program on urban farming and related topics. We aim to build a community of people who are intellectually, emotionally and physically involved in making city life more sustainable.
