This all-organic cafe and market offers a bountiful salad bar, soups, veggie burgers and a daily special which might be pizza, corn tamale, nut loaf or Indian coconut curry. The Farmer and the Cook was created by activist/farmer, Steve Sprinkel and cook/dietician, Olivia Chase in order to make "5 a Day" a possibility. Their nearby farm provides most of the vegetables and the clientele promises to be just as colorful. Open 8 am to 8 pm Monday to Saturday and 9 am to 7 pm on Sundays.

The Farmer and the Cook has rapidly become a community center for Ojai (and especially Meiners Oaks). The daily specials are always healthy, organic and delicious.
