After finding out about this farmstand and a little about the history of the owner a few years ago…read moreon social media, I've been wanting to stop by. I finally had a chance this summer on a day off to take the 40 minute drive and check it out. I was not disappointed. This is a small but year-round farm stand right off the side of the road with gravel space for cars to park. It is not greatly protected from the elements--and it was a hot hot day. I'm glad to see they at least had a few fans for the employees. The owner regularly works her stand, and when I was there, she offered to cut some fresh herbs or flowers for me while I perused the wonderful assortment of fruits, veggies and local honey. I ended up with some of the sweetest green grapes I've ever tried, a few different honeys to try (avocado and orange blossom), some freshly roasted peanuts, cucumbers, and an assortment of stone fruit. Everything was delicious, but the grapes were my favorite. Check out Sweet Girl Farms on Social media, or check out their website. They are active in the community, help to support other community growers (they even have eggs and other offerings), and enjoy a worthwhile visit to what should soon obtain the title of local treasure. I may not be able to stop by every week, but I hope to be a several times a year regular. This place is wonderful!

Liset is the best and has the perfect farm stand. I was on a quest for fresh fruits and veggies and…read moreSweet Girl Farms is truly a one stop shop. I scored some fresh eggs, apricots, cherries, jams, potatoes, onions, chicharrons and the most gorgeous flowers. She also turned me onto the Fresno Country Fruit Trail and I feel like I unlocked a whole other level to produce. I look forward to more visits.

The answer to the question? I had to…read more The question? Why would anyone in their right mind be driving out in the crudely paved back roads outside of Fresno. I am assuming you think it's incomprehensible. It was 100 degree plus weather in August! Based on a tip from another local fruit grower, we weaved zig zag through country roads lined with fruit orchards and occasional farm houses. GPS was our guide. And then we saw it. A dusty driveway. A modest home. A small, unmanned fruit stand shaded by a bright red pop-up. A table set up with wooden crates filled with plump, freshly picked peaches, nectarines, and plums, labeled with homemade signs. A stack of brown paper bags, just big enough to hold maybe 6 peaches, each the size of your fist. And a crusty, homemade lock box with a slot on top. In the background was a packing house and an orchard. This is a DIY operation. You don't get to pre-taste their offerings, but you do get to "cherry pick". And what you do get are beautiful, tree ripened stone fruit at prices that are far better than most. You are on the honor system here, so if you are seduced by the siren call for peak season, fresh fruit, be considerate. Pop the correct number of bills in the slot before you walk away. You will be rewarded. And you will look forward to the next time, doing the exact same thing.

Good paychecks, but really REALLY long hours. I worked at Gerawan Farming in Reedley a few summers…read moreago and it was worth it because I saved up to buy my SLR camera in about two weeks, but the hours were so long that I was just too tired to do anything by the time I came home. So, I pretty much would work and sleep and work and sleep. Employees would usually work six days a week (and sometimes seven) and up to fourteen hours a day. It was insane, but I guess that's what comes with working in a factory. Most of the employee's didn't mind the hours and days, but these were people who had families to feed. The managers were pretty chill and friendly, but there was always drama going on between the female employees (which place doesn't have this!).

The fruit (peaches) are terrible! Ray and Dan, you should not compromise quality for quantity…read more They do not taste like any kind of peach so please do some R & D work to try and grow farm fruit trees with some actual peach flavor in the fruit. I.e., different hybrid. Oh, and in my opinion, as a consumer I feel the fancy boxed peaches displaying an employees picture, name and file number is not appropriate and should be nixed. In fact, the entire Walmart packaging concept is a waste of your money and resources

Taqueria orders are typically ready pretty quickly, though they are short-staffed at the moment. You pay for your food at the taqueria instead of at the main checkout. Orders come wrapped in foil and are placed into plastic bags. There are also other yummy staples available here like pan dulce, which comes pre-bagged near the parking lot entrance. Lots of items that you won't find at Savemart that you might need for traditional dishes. And if you need pinatas for a party, they also have a good selection of those. A really solid store that I enjoy shopping at - especially for the taqueria.

Duck potstickers were just ok. More of wontons than potstickers, but decent crisp . The whole dish needed salt and acid. Since duck leg is so rich it needed to be cut. The pickled cabbage wasn't acidic at all and ponzu was thick and seemed like Mae ploy mixed with something . Presented nicely though . Wife got the salmon with risotto and buerre blanc . She said was well executed but wished it had some salt and a half the amount of rice . I got the chicken with leek risotto and rosemary jus. It was good but needed something else. Maybe fried leek garnish? The leeks were a bit stringy in the rice, I'd cut them smaller. Rosemary pan jus was ok but not a pan jus . Definitely thicken with corn starch and kinda bland
