Take a break from the hurried craziness of life and come on up to the farm - visit the goats, see the chickens. Can you shop too? Of course! Without the stress.

East on Highway 168 from Fresno/Clovis on the way to Shaver Lake! And... if you can't make it during regular store hours, place your order online and choose "Local Pick Up" at checkout for the shipping option.
