Fermentation Farm — Restaurant in Costa Mesa

Fermentation Farm in Newport Beach is a hidden gem for anyone passionate about gut health, fermented foods, and high-quality, organic ingredients. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, rustic atmosphere and a team that’s knowledgeable and passionate about their products.

Their kombucha on tap is a must-try, offering a variety of flavors that are both refreshing and not overly sweet. If you’re into bone broth, theirs is some of the best—rich, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients that you can taste in every sip. They also have an impressive selection of fermented vegetables, dairy-free yogurts, and other probiotic-packed goods that are hard to find elsewhere.

Beyond the food and drinks, Fermentation Farm is also a great place for health-conscious shoppers looking for natural, nutrient-dense pantry staples. Their commitment to using organic, locally sourced ingredients makes a noticeable difference in taste and quality.

The only downside is that some items can be on the pricier side, but considering the craftsmanship and health benefits, it’s well worth it. If you’re serious about gut health or just love trying unique, artisanal foods, this place is definitely...

Love this place so much! I’ve been a regular for over a year now and will drive 30 min just to come here. I rarely eat out or buy prepared foods, because most of it is just full of junk and cooked with inflammatory seed oils and low quality ingredients. Fermentation Farm is one of the very few places where I feel comfortable eating out, knowing that the food is healthy and nourishing made with great ingredients. If you’re into the whole Weston A Price, Ray Peat, Paleo, etc. philosophy, then you will absolutely love this place! Either way you will probably love it and there are many great resources to learn more - classes and books. The employees are really friendly and passionate about health as well. Coming here was a big part of my transition from being a vegan for four years 😝introducing back high quality animal foods one thing at a time while supporting my gut health changed my life for the better! However, if you prefer plant based still there are so many options for that too

Everything tastes amazing and there are so many cool things available. We always stock up our fridge with fermented foods, condiments, raw dairy and...

This place used to be much better unfortunately maybe with high demand the quality has gone down significantly. Also there is no consistency. I ordered 3 sides of chicken which on their menu clearly stated is 4oz per side. As I am on a very strict diet I went home to weigh the chicken only to find they had charged me for 12oz of chicken but on gave me 7.3 oz of chicken. It’s already extremely over priced to begin and then to come home and find out they didn’t even give me the proper amount is very disappointing. Also I’m not sure about there kombucha practices and how closely they watch the PH levels as one of my friends got sick, had body pains, and threw up after drinking the kombucha. I have really wanted to like this place but unfortunately it has disappointed me over and over. Not to mention the chocolate is extremely over priced one of my favorites brands that I can find for $4 at mothers is $9 there. And it’s $10 for 1 dozen eggs 😳. All and all the people are sweet and nice but I would not recommend the food...
