HONEYCUP COFFEE AND KITCHEN
Beverages, healthy food and lively conversation are all on the menu at Honeycup Coffee
& Kitchen. "We all talk and communicate,
and organize fun community events," says

living and working in Oxnard. The town stays
well-caffeinated with hot and chilled drink
offerings such as the Honey Cup latte spiked
with raw unfiltered clover honey, kombucha
and blended beverages. Start the day with a
hearty breakfast burrito or an anti-oxidant
loaded açaí bowl. Gluten free diners have
plenty to choose from - even waffles.

TAMAI FAMILY FARMS
Much of the world knows about Oxnard because of its agricultural exports. That's a result
of the efforts of farmers such as Jason Tamai,
whose grandfather founded Tamai Family
Farms in the 1950s. Starting with strawberries,

range of other produce. "We can grow pretty

Family Farms opens its approximately 40-acre
property located off Pacific Coast Highway for
an annual customer appreciation day in June.
