Mission Farms is the ideal spot for this locally owned restaurant. Staci Cross founded it with the goal of offering really healthy and organic food for busy people. And she has succeeded. She serves hearty warm bowls, a large variety of salads and sandwiches, organic cold-pressed juices and whole-meal smoothies to be truly nourishing for their customers. “It was always about proving what I thought could be accomplished in Mission Farms as a prototype for a national franchise brand,” Staci notes. “I know this world needs more availability to really nourishing food, not another hamburger or chicken concept. All our menu items are about providing balanced nutrition with as many Phyto-nutrients from plants as possible while keeping in mind taste! That’s why I originally engaged Chef Michael Smith to create all the recipes for each menu item so the healthy ingredients would taste delicious! Our customers keep returning because they trust the ingredients and love how they taste.”
Customer favorites include the “Take on the World” warm bowl. This is a superfood bowl that actually tastes amazing and has been their best-seller since the day they opened. Also popular are the “Tastes Like Ice Cream” smoothie, “Spicy Rooster” sandwich, “Bountiful” salad or the “Countryside” warm bowl. There are seven different warm bowls that appeal to a variety of diets like Keto or vegan. Many keep coming back to eat the same thing every time.
Staci explains that the cravings are real. “We do encourage them to branch out because we’ve seen customers get new favorites. I think it’s the quality of the ingredients that make our food so special. We use mostly organic ingredients, no GMOs, no damaging oils or cane sugar, and only high-quality meat and fish. You can totally taste the difference. So fresh! All our food is made from scratch, too.”
It is easy to eat clean, highly nutritious food and drink here. Ingredients are intentionally sourced and hand selected. They use organic or wild-caught protein and organic produce whenever possible. Pura Cocktails with such names as Flower Child and Spa Day, are made with intentionally clean ingredients, no refined sugar, syrups, artificial flavors or dyes. Each is a master blend of fresh-pressed juices, homemade infusions and high-vibe ingredients. Wines are sustainably farmed with low sulfites.
The uniqueness is apparent when you visit. At Enjoy, the dining experience and staff culture is equal in importance to the food served. They strive to create a place where customers can feel uplifted, cared for, nourished and transformed during their day with this vibrant, open environment and open-hearted service.
“Clean eating fosters a clear mind and positive energy, which allows us to be our best selves in all areas of life,” Staci says with a smile. “When we live at our optimal level, we make the world a better place.
