Rooted in the Land. Crafted with Care.

Step behind the scenes with a video tour of our very own chicken farm — the heart of our farm-to-table promise.

Our Philosophy

At our core, we believe that food is more than just a meal — it’s a connection to the earth, to each other, and to something deeply human. That’s why we’ve chosen the farm-to-table path: a commitment to sourcing sustainably, preparing thoughtfully, and serving with heart. Every ingredient has a story, and we’re here to honor it.

100%
Farm-Owned

We raise our chickens on our own land — no outsourcing, no compromises.
Full control means full trust.

Ethical & Humane Practices

Our animals live in open pastures, cared for daily with dignity. Welfare isn’t a trend
— it’s our foundation.

Sustainability
in Action

From solar energy to regenerative farming, we operate with tomorrow in mind.
Good food, done right.

- About Us -

A New Coastal Cuisine

Our Pescadero farm is among the few coastal farms sited west of Highway 1: go any further west and you're in the water (we can literally hear the Elephant Seals when feeding or watering our chickens). The distinctive ingredients that emerge from this thin fertile strip between Big Basin National Forest and the Pacific Ocean are Café Vivant's largest inspiration.

Regenerative Farming

We work to actively improve the health of our soil, ecosystem balance, and biodiversity. Prioritizing cover cropping, crop rotations, grazing, and composting allows us to create and sustain a dynamic and closed-loop ecosystem.
