Farmer and the Cook

Highly recommend the chocolate beet cake! Definitely worth the drive from Ventura just for that, but there’s a ton of other great reasons to make the trip.

Such yummy food and really great kid menu. I had the kale chard enchilada and thought it was fantastic! My toddler had the burrito and also thought it was so good!!!

This place delivers. We had lunch there. I got the vegetable tacos with goat cheese and he got a giant burrito (vegan). For only part time vegans, this place was amazing. It didn't taste like health food at all. Indulgent but you left feeling good and not gross. It's in a cute little building filled with local produce and stuff but the highlights are the food. Also got a green smoothie. It was very good and we both felt the pricing was fair. My only critique is that the homemade tortillas are a bit clunky and fall apart, but it wasn't worth losing a star over. Run, don't walk here, and order some seriously good food!

A local health food restaurant and market in Miner's Oaks near the town in Ojai. All the produce is organic and grown on the premises. They also make cookies that are healthier and scrumptious. My favorite is the Molasses Ginger cookie. Chewy and full of cinnamon, clove and ginger spices. It's worth going there just for the desserts and organic vegetables and fruits. While you're doing grocery shopping, sit down and enjoy their Mexican restaurant on the premises. Farmer and the Cook is the hidden gem of this small town. While you visit Miner's Oaks, stop by the local meat market, which has their own cattle which is grass fed and organic. Also, they have their own local honey and beef jerky. It's fabulous!
