	+ ------ + ''2009-10-02 12:04:03'' [[nbsp]] Finally checked out this interesting little spot. Overall I would recommend it, but the food is not necessarily exciting although very solid & of course healthy. I would say the main reason to go here is to support healthy, local food. I was pleasantly surprised to see the bakery/grocery section - lots of doughs, frozen pizza crusts etc to take home & make something as well as prepared bakery items. There weren't a lot of diners for lunch when I arrived but the service was attentive without being in my face. They really seem to care that you appreciate & enjoy the food. I'll be back, lots. --["Users/Dora5"]

The ingrediants were high quality, but the recipe was shit. A ten dollar meal of mayonnaise. Dissapionting, but I will go back to support a local organic resuarant. --["Users/JustinMehlhaff"]

I'm tired of eating food that has been cross-contaminated with gluten, or having to settle on pre-packaged gluten free food that tastes like cardboard with spices thrown on top. Thanks RoseAnne, keep it up! --["Users/JuanaBNDavis"]

- ''2009-07-30 00:57:45'' [[nbsp]] I’ve been meaning to review this establishment for a while now, and I’m glad I waited, because when I first started eating lunch here almost a year ago, I tactfully related disappointments to the owner about quantity and price. I had a few repeat frustrations, which made me feel uncomfortable and hesitant to write a negative review, because I didn't want to say anything bad about the only truly local/organic/sustainable alternative to home cooking in town. I’m happy to say that, now, most of my old complaints are no longer relevant—the alternative membership pricing, the increase in overall quantity for the price, and the reliable quality keep me coming back, and I don’t mind waiting longer than normal (that’s actually a mark of quality these days, aside from being charming in itself). When I want to emphasize unhurried conversation and organic food, ''Farmer's Kitchen'' springs to mind; and if I want to keep a clear conscience with regard to agricultural sustainability, not to mention an alternative to service-line food, there’s no better option. And don’t forget, if you're in a hurry, you can always place an order ahead of time, and it'll be ready for you when you get there. Very convenient. Favorite offerings: chicken pot pie, chicken noodle soup, and fresh salads. Their chai is really good, too. My only complaint is that I can’t always afford to eat here—for students such as myself, it’s only for special occasions :) --["Users/ZacharyNorwood" ZN]	+ ''2009-07-30 00:57:45'' [[nbsp]] I’ve been meaning to review this establishment for a while now, and I’m glad I waited, because when I first started eating lunch here almost a year ago, I tactfully related disappointments to the owner about quantity and price.

	+ ------ + ''2009-07-16 17:18:39'' [[nbsp]] I ate there today and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. I went with some co-workers of mine and at first was very skeptical of the menu. I am not really into the whole health food, gluten-free, only organic stuff, but after today I have seen what good quality food really tastes like. I had the Chicken Sandwich with basil aioli... WOW! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The tomatoes on it were so fresh and sweet. The best part of all was definitely the bread. It had a biscuit like quality to it. We also ate the salad with tons of different fruits in it. The sesame dressing is possible the best I have tried... and initial sweetness and then a slight tang at the end of it. The fruits in the salad were possibly the freshest I have had in a very long time. Oh and the Cucumbers were like none I've had before. Overall I definitely recommend trying this place :) --["Users/hazeleyes16"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-01-09 17:06:00'' [[nbsp]] i was meeting up with some friends today and wanted time to catch up, so I thought to give this place a try since I heard you have to wait quite a while for the food to arrive. It was definitely a little weird since it was our first time and we didn't know about the menus near the door. We waited quite a while at the table until someone came to take our order except we hadn't even looked at the menu yet. I got the chicken pot pie, and although it was pretty tasty with a great flaky, tender crust, it was really small for 12 dollars. i could get one twice as big at Mimi's Cafe for the same price. The good thing is after we were done, we didn't get that ugh full in the gut filling you tend to get with greasy food but it also didn't fill any of us up. We were still pretty hungry. Maybe we're all just too use to eating too much. But I would definitely come back again to try something new. --["Users/skinnyfatgirl"]

	+ ------ + ''2008-09-13 17:28:57'' [[nbsp]] The condescending attitude expressed by the owner on this page almost turned me away from this place, but luckily (for me) I decided to give them a try anyway. I have yet to have a bad meal here. Everything I have tried (salad, tamales, rice and veggies, chicken and potatoes, soup, etc.) has been fresh and flavorful. I should emphasize the "flavorful" -- food is nicely spiced, so that even an ordinary dish like chicken and potatoes tastes like something special. So, come here if you believe in the mission of the place, but come here even if you just want a good meal. But definitely don't come here unless you've got time to spare; in general, it won't be a quick meal. Think of it as a nice place to have a long chat with friends and have a nice, healthy, tasty meal. --["Users/CovertProfessor"]

I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. --["Users/rosehips"]

The salad was great even though the ingredients didn't seem to go together when looking at the menu (get the sesame dressing). The Salmon was very tasty as well, and came with a wonderful side of cheesy mashed potatoes, but the dish was quite pricey at 18$. Soup was not so great. Overall the place is very good but perhaps too expensive for the ambiance. --["Users/MattHh"]

	+ ------ + ''2008-05-21 18:52:56'' [[nbsp]] This place is decent, but the only thing I would come again for is the salad. I brought my parents and boyfriend and ordered the salad, escabeche and the "tamales" to share. There was only one tamale - traditional, very tasty - so I was very annoyed that not only the menu was misleading, but it was extremely overpriced. I get that they are serving high quality local food, but come on! Then the escabeche: coming from a Hispanic household, I was seriously confused by this dish. There was no fish, just pickled vegetables, rice, and beans. I would also not recommend the desserts, but I guess that's my fault for ordering gluten-free apple pie. The salad, thank god, was delicious and big enough to share. It was the only thing that saved this experience. --["Users/carlaisnt"]

Got any suggestions? --["IrenePark"] + ------ + ''2006-03-06 18:43:19'' [[nbsp]] The food here always pleases me, but I only go when I have lots of time to spare. The food is extraordinarily fresh which means you have to wait a while for them to prepare it. The Torte de Blette has a really good crust that works well the with apples, and the pickled beets alone merit getting the salad. I'm generally not a fan of brown rice, so I was surprised to have enjoyed the Curried Organic Vegetables w brown Rice and Homemade Chutney-- good texture, well spiced, and with the addition of extra chutney, just the right amount of sweet and sour. --["CraigBrozinsky"] + ------ + ''2006-06-04 14:05:15'' [[nbsp]] We do old fashioned home cooking...but since we all live in a time famine, we found an easy, sort of modern, solution to the problem of waiting while we cook. Many of our patrons call in their food order from the freeway, or before leaving home, the office (or from the airport, as one family did yesterday). The menu is on our website, or we'll talk you through your food choices with recommendations. That gives us time to have your food ready and waiting for you on the table when you arrive. That's even faster than conventional fast food, if you think about it! Phone number is 530-756-1862. ["RoseAnneDeCristoforo"] + ------ + ''2007-08-04 12:47:35'' [[nbsp]] I had a long lunch here a couple of weeks ago and was very pleased. The chicken pot pie was delicious, as were the chicken noodle soup and peach pie. This is a nice place for a leisurely meal. --["Users/ChristianAnderson"] + ------ + ''2007-08-04 15:38:36'' [[nbsp]] Recommendations: 1) "Student Special", an excellent simple dish of fried egg, black beans, Escabeche (sp? pickled veggies), and seriously delicious habenaro sauce. RoseAnne isn't serving it yet this summer, but if you ask for it, she'll eventually bring it back. 2) the coffee. Not so great as iced coffee but delicious regular coffee. 3) Chicken sandwich with a yummy dressing on foccacio bread. + + Comments: This is a truly different restaurant from the time perspective. While you can phone ahead and enjoy the yummy food at the time pacing that fits your life, consider instead enjoying the whole experience of the place and stay for awhile while others prepare your fresh food for you. I feel like I get more out of it and the food tastes even more delicious when I'm not in a hurry. Bring a friend and chat for an hour. --["Users/JoRo"] + ------ + ''2007-08-26 15:30:29'' [[nbsp]] Awsome food, the owner is really nice, too. Don't go here if you're in a hurry, they take their time. Thi was the last place I ate before i gave birth to my daughter, so it's special to me :) --["Users/ElisaWeller"] + ------ + ''2007-09-11 14:30:50'' [[nbsp]] I was in for lunch this afternoon, and after placing my order and waiting for some time, I was told that the day's bread delivery had failed to arrive and they were going to have to go and pick it up before they could make my food. The server was apologetic, but she did not offer anything while I waited, which I feel under the circumstances, she should have done. Additionally, she failed to bring me my iced tea: I had to get up and ask for it, and even still there was a noticeable delay in the amount of time it took for her to actually bring it to me. The food was good once it arrived, but after finishing my meal, there was no sign of my server, and hence, no sign I would receive a bill anytime soon. I finally went back to the kitchen and asked for my check. When I went up to the register, another employee asked how my experience was, so I told her I was dissatisfied with the service. She asked what happened, and I told her, and all she could say was she was sorry and she would make a note for the servers. I told her I wasn't happy I had to pay full price for the sandwich, and she said that things are usually slow in the restaurant. I am not satisfied with that response. I don't think slow food has to equal bad service. I won't be back. --["Users/Shelly"] + ------ + ''2007-11-14 23:05:43'' [[nbsp]] Very nice staff, I was not in love with my meal, but I would return because I like the idea of their menu/mission so much! --["Users/katherine1234"] + ------ + ''2007-12-05 22:29:59'' [[nbsp]] The food here is fantastic! My husband absolutely loves the free-range chicken sandwich on foccacia (he says it is good enough to make up for the lack of french fries). I like the eggplant sandwich and the salads. I want to try the black bean tacos but enjoy the sandwich so much I've yet to stray. --["Users/havanese"] + ------ + + ------ + ''2008-02-08 02:23:13'' [[nbsp]] Holy wow. I ate at the Farmer's Kitchen Cafe today for the first time, and was blown away. The prices are pretty intimidating and the food took a while, but in the end, wow. I split the "Portobello Mushroom Sandwich w/ Local Organic Roasted Red Pepper Puree" ($13.95), the "Local Organic Winter Roasted Vegetables w/ Mustard Sauce" ($10.50) and a side of rosemary garlic toast with a friend. The vegetables were flavorful and very fresh. It paired perfectly with the toast. The sandwich, though? Wow. WOW. So good. Would I pay $14 for it? Yes. But only every once in a while. It's delicious, but I'm not made of money. The mushrooms were cooked in such a way that they were tender in the middle and crispy on the outside (best mushrooms I've ever had). The pesto had a great texture. The foccaccia put it over the top. + + I'm definitely coming here again. If you do give this place a try, make sure to give yourself plenty of time. The food is fresh, so the wait can be substantial, and the staff doesn't seem particularly rushed. They are very pleasant, though, and the experience is worth the money and the wait. --["Users/SharonZimmerman"] + ------ + ''2008-02-10 07:49:54'' [[nbsp]] In this country we have a two tiered food system, with very expensive 'chef prepared' food at the top, and nutritionally compromised, contaminated factory food offered to everyone else.

YES, I want the server to promptly bring me my food and be friendly and actually get my order right! Bring me napkins & utensils WITH my food. Why do I have to ask for these things or get them myself? It feels like I am in a time warp where NO ONE knows what the hell is going on. - - PLEASE train your servers better!

The prices are pretty intimidating and the food took a while, but in the end, wow. I split the "Portobello Mushroom Sandwich w/ Local Organic Roasted Red Pepper Puree" ($13.95), the "Local Organic Winter Roasted Vegetables w/ Mustard Sauce" ($10.50) and a side of rosemary garlic toast with a friend. The vegetables were flavorful and very fresh. It paired perfectly with the toast. The sandwich, though? Wow. WOW. So good. Would I pay $14 for it? Yes. But only every once in a while. It's delicious, but I'm not made of money. The mushrooms were cooked in such a way that they were tender in the middle and crispy on the outside (best mushrooms I've ever had). The pesto had a great texture. The foccaccia put it over the top. + + I'm definitely coming here again. If you do give this place a try, make sure to give yourself plenty of time. The food is fresh, so the wait can be substantial, and the staff doesn't seem particularly rushed. They are very pleasant, though, and the experience is worth the money and the wait. --["Users/SharonZimmerman"]

	+ ------ + ''2007-09-11 14:30:50'' [[nbsp]] I was in for lunch this afternoon, and after placing my order and waiting for some time, I was told that the day's bread delivery had failed to arrive and they were going to have to go and pick it up before they could make my food. The server was apologetic, but she did not offer anything while I waited, which I feel under the circumstances, she should have done. Additionally, she failed to bring me my iced tea: I had to get up and ask for it, and even still there was a noticeable delay in the amount of time it took for her to actually bring it to me. The food was good once it arrived, but after finishing my meal, there was no sign of my server, and hence, no sign I would receive a bill anytime soon. I finally went back to the kitchen and asked for my check. When I went up to the register, another employee asked how my experience was, so I told her I was dissatisfied with the service. She asked what happened, and I told her, and all she could say was she was sorry and she would make a note for the servers. I told her I wasn't happy I had to pay full price for the sandwich, and she said that things are usually slow in the restaurant. I am not satisfied with that response. I don't think slow food has to equal bad service. I won't be back. --["Users/Shelly"]
