A Visit With Ojai Roots

I had the opportunity to visit Rei and Evan at their small, neighborhood farm last fall and was surprised to learn they were around the corner from me in Ojai. Ojai Roots was started by this duo in the height of COVID, a pet project to pass away the time and grow some food. Evan had grown up on his property and received the green light from his mother to start a home farm. Cut to a couple years later and he has a successful farm box delivery service benefiting locals and restaurants alike, as well namesake products like candles and olive oil not unlike the LA based well known Flamingo Estate.
