“ If I had to list my favorite businesses in Orange County, Fermentation Farm would easily make my top 10. Which is why I'm back with a round two 5-review of this local gem. It literally doesn't get better than healthy locally sourced tasty food. We stopped by during OC Restaurant Week for their $25 meal deal. This meal offering allowed us to snag an entree (chili or a tuna melt), side (bone broth), choice of kombucha, and house-made bread for dessert. I ordered the vegan chili, blueberry bread, chicken bone broth, and the creamsicle kombucha.. all for $25. An absolute steal, imo. I adore their weekly outdoor farmers market. You can easily go broke browsing their many dried fruits, fresh fruit, veggies, and nuts. I may have irresponsibly spent $30 on flavored nuts and fruit during my most recent visit. Forever and always a fave. Highly recommend checking out this biz on your next outing. ”

“ What an incredible place! Everything we ate was delicious. The staff was extremely helpful and polite. I asked questions about the fermentation process and I was given so much information! I highly recommend this place! ”

“ I love this place and recommend to everyone! I visit this place a minimum of once a week. There are so many things I love about it. From the friendly and knowledgeable staff to the great products and the welcoming ambiance. The food is amazing , healthy and clean. I'm addicted of the elderberry syrup, the master tonic( natural inflammation medicine), the sourdough banana bread, the Ghee and the flourless chocolate cakes.... Those I always have at home. But everything from there is outstanding and you will not regret to try it. ”

“ 2/10/2025 This store has been on queue for a very long time! Fermentation Farm has been around since 2014 and they "are a community of people that care deeply about reconnecting with handcrafted, traditional foods that are dense in nutrients. Specializing in probiotic-rich and restorative foods that also contain B vitamins, electrolytes, collagen, and minerals that are necessary for proper gut and immune system and overall body wellness, we serve the general public with the aim to heal." Fermentation Farm have their own house-made products including organic fermented drinks, organic broths, organic coconut yogurts, organic coco milks, frappés & creamer, organic cultures, organic fermented veggies, organic tonics, brine & syrup and market items. WILD LINE-CAUGHT TUNA SANDWICH (Albacore, Sourdough Brioche, Fermented Relish, Cucumber, Mixed Greens) This had a very clean flavor. Nothing fancy, it tasted healthy and homemade. I appreciate the crunchy cucumbers and fresh mixed greens in the sandwich. ORGANIC MUSHROOM WILD RICE SOUP (Beef broth, cremini, shiitake, wild rice blend, scallion) Very clean flavor. I can taste the rich bone broth as the soup base. No cream was mixed in. There was more mushrooms than rice. Very tender mushrooms too. GRASS-FED BEEF BONE BROTH Really good, rich beef bone broth! I really enjoyed this and will be buying more! I got this fresh and not from the freezer. It was still hot by the time I got home. I think this would be perfect for the morning or even when you're feeling under the weather, a good bone broth to bring you back to health! Got this as a bowl. It wasn't written, but the container was in a 16oz container. When I actually did pour it into an 8oz cup, it was less than two full cups. Customer Service I'm a bit torn because two people were working at the front and while one was super friendly and helpful, another was just okay, doing their job and wasn't smiling as much. When you're new and visiting for the first time, you always want to be greeted warmly. It makes you wanna come back. ”

“ Another delicious visit to ferm farm! The farmers breakfast plate was filled to its edges! Pro tip: ask for dressing on the greens! I don't know why they don't automatically put dressing on them. The cooks ended up creating a little salad that has all the fixings! The morning chili was delicious as usual.... very orange yolks, airy sourdough bread and hearty grass fed chili. Nowhere else can ever top this place. ”

“ This is a SOLID spot for some good, healthy, and organic food! Everything is cooked in cast iron skillets (From what I can see in the kitchen), the food comes out very quickly, the staff is always very sweet and welcoming. There is one blonde waitress that is very sweet every time and is always on top of everything. Like a one man show and she is killer! The sourdough sandwiches, especially with sauerkraut are our favorites! Pancakes weren't bad, but not my favorite. The tacos are awesome as well! Just solid spot to go to for some good and actually HEALTHY food! Place is also pet friendly and good spot to relax on by the beach a bit! ”

“ Still my absolute favorite restaurant/market in OC and that will never change! You will not find a better place in Southern California that prioritizes their customers' health. Everything is seed oil free and so insanely delicious!! Love the brekkie sando, tuna melt/sandwich, morning chili, all their tacos, the dandy blend, jun, and pretty much everything else! Will always support this business for its high standards and quality! We've bought their chicken wings, chicken thighs, eggs, and flourless chocolate cake, that's sold inside in their refrigerated section and you can seriously taste the quality! Doesn't even compare to the crap they sell in every single grocery store chain. Much love to all the employees who make this place special like Delaney! ”

“ We came here after visiting the OC Fair which really boosted the experience tbh. It felt good to heal the gut a little bit after absolutely destroying it at the fair with funnel cake and fried bacon pickles. Life is about balance after all! I love all things pickled and fermented, so this place is so fun! Great service and a cute little outdoor section too (no indoor seating). ”
