Farmer and the Cook

This lovely little market is in the neighborhood of Meiners Oaks, just west of downtown Ojai. Pop in for pre-made sandwiches, a super-fresh salad bar and an abundance of local produce and picnic-friendly sundries for hotel cooking, hiking or camping (you can also pick up great gifts such as locally made aprons and cute kitchen-ware). If you have a little more time, order from the menu of eclectic lunch options (we suggest the squash and goat cheese tacos or the handmade sopes), all of which can be made vegan upon request. There are also fresh-squeezed juices, smoothies and an ever-changing list of desserts. You can find ample seating inside and out, and you're bound to see some colorful Ojai characters come and go while you dine.
