narrated tours given directly by growers and a chance to sample

a delicious meal prepared by six local chefs is served buffet-style
in Ojai’s Soule Park.
Featuring
three Ojai Valley farms chosen for their scenic location and
the owners’ expertise:

dedication to cuisine based on locally grown, seasonal and organic
ingredients, they will collaborate in preparing a menu inspired
by the motto “Eat Local, Eat Fresh, Eat Well!”
