Overview
Welcome to Zava Ranch – A Relaxing Farm Stay in California Lemon and Avocado Orchard
Nestled in the rolling hills of Ventura County, Zava Ranch offers a serene farm stay experience in the Central Valley of California. We are a sustainable family-owned farm and chemical-free veganic fruit orchard.
This peaceful 20-acre property is surrounded by mature pepper trees, heritage oaks, and fragrant lemon and avocado orchards. Guests are invited to relax, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the charm of rustic elegance.
Wake up to birdsong and sweeping mountain views. Spend your day wandering through sun-dappled groves or sipping coffee beneath the trees. The accommodations blend comfort and authenticity—think cozy farmhouse touches with modern conveniences. Whether you’re stargazing, harvesting seasonal fruit, or simply enjoying the quiet, Zava Ranch is a restorative escape from busyness of life.
We live and raise our kids where we grow and harvest fruit. We eat the fruit off of our trees. The kids play in the orchard.We never spray the trees or add anything to the soil that we wouldn’t want our own kids to eat.We practice Beyond Organic Natural Farming no fertilizers, no pesticides, and no herbicides, regardless whether the chemicals are considered organic or synthetic. Health, safety, and nutritional value is our focus.
Perfect for couples, families, colleagues, friends, or solo travelers looking to unplug without venturing too far from the coast or city. Only 1 hour drive from Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Ojai, 30 minutes from many beautiful Southern California beaches and national parks, 20-30 minutes from shopping/restaurant/attractions of Ventura, Moorpark, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Camarillo, and more.
