Does EPCOT grow their own food?

Enjoy a meal at Sunshine Seasons or the Garden Grill Restaurant in The Land Pavilion, both of which serve fresh produce and seafood grown right here.



Yes, EPCOT grows a significant amount of food on-site, primarily within "The Land" pavilion through an initiative known as "Living with the Land." This isn't just a decorative display; it is a working laboratory and hydroponic farm. Using advanced agricultural techniques such as aeroponics, drip irrigation, and integrated pest management, Disney scientists produce over 30,000 pounds of produce annually. This includes everything from Mickey-shaped pumpkins and cucumbers to lettuce, peppers, and even tilapia and freshwater shrimp from their aquaculture tanks. Much of this harvest is served directly in EPCOT restaurants, most notably at the Garden Grill Restaurant and Sunshine Seasons. The program serves a dual purpose: it educates millions of guests on sustainable farming and the future of global food security, while simultaneously providing high-quality, ultra-local ingredients for the park’s culinary team. It is one of the most successful examples of "agritainment" in the world.
