Just came back from the opening weekend. It was so much fun and completely different than our first experience last summer. Last summer it was hot! This time it was cool with snow and hail, but beautiful nevertheless. Activities: Our kids loved archery, pony rides, pool time, and hiking. We even got to see some new animals. A new marmot family moved in to the camp grounds. Got an awesome photo of the baby kissing mommy marmot. There was a honeycomb bear. Super cool in the giant field of green. The adult group got massages, ate really well every night. The staff were incredibly nice and helpful. Looking forward to our 3rd trip next year. Accommodations: We stayed at the cabins. We are a group of two family and had two cabins, which was perfect. In the mornings, my son would run over to the next cabin and get his friend to go to the dining room for breakfast by themselves. Next year we're getting a bungalow and our family will be side by side with shower in the room. Cabins don't have electricity and shower. You can take showers by the swimming pool. It's faces the horse stable, which is not an issue in terms of noise and if you love horses. Horses are very quiet and pretty. My kids really enjoyed going over to feed the horses every morning. Duplex is closest to the lodge and dining area, but gets sun hitting it first thing in the morning. It's has the most space if you group has many people. Bungalows has the best view. It faces the field and in the shady area, doesn't get morning sun. It has its own shower and bathroom.

Such a beautiful place! They were so sweet at the restaurant and made me a dessert when they found out I was getting married next week.

We just returned from a wonderful stay! Nina, Jeff and the entire staff were so incredible. They were excellent at efficiently running a complex business while making guests feel like they're truly at home. We came with a five month old and a four year old and stayed in a cabin. Make no mistake- it's basic: with beds, a sink, a toilet and no electricity. But that's the fun of it! You're roughing it, except that amazing food is prepared for you three times a day! (Other lodging types on property do have showers. We showered at the clean, spacious and recently renovated showers by the pool.). The dinner entrees are on par with what nice restaurants in our area would charge 18-28 bucks for. And the desserts!! And breakfast and lunch are delicious as well. Don't skip the scones. If you plan to go hiking they'll pack you tasty brown bag lunches so you can picnic. My son had a blast riding a horse that was led down a trail, doing archery, attending the nightly campfire (s'mores provided), and being the guest bell ringer. They ring a bell outside the dining hall at mealtimes :) There is a range of different difficulty level hikes you can go on which originate at the ranch. The views are absolutely spectacular and the area is unique due to the bizarrely beautiful boiling lake and thermal geysers. The pool itself is heated by thermal springs. About 95 degrees during the day- so relaxing. You sit there and stare out across the meadow to the pines on the mountain. It was such a special experience for our family. The staff was so kind and fun, especially with our sons. I would love to go back!!

TX Bar Grassfed Cattle Company - Full freezer of yummy beef

TX Bar Grassfed Cattle Company

I've been thinking about getting a whole cow for a long time. Because of the way beef prices have…read morebeen going up. So I started to do a little research, and I came across tx bar, Grassfed Cattle Company. They weren't the first place that I found. I actually found several other places at Bove online and offline. Did my research check my prices and check reviews and everything else? And I decided to reach out to Travis. He answered all in the questions without any Negative feedback whatsoever, no pushy, no sales talk or anything like that, he was open. He was honest, his pricing was fair. He gave me the complete breakdown of how much of whole cow compared to a 1/2 cow. Compared to the processing fee, and there were several ranchers that were a lot closer to me Because i'm right here in sacramento and they are a two and a half hour drive away. But can't beat his prices can't beat his customer service and right now I honestly could say i've bought two cows from this company yes, I have a big family. But I also just like beef, and I like steak and I'm on the carnivore diet. So I like eating meat but I didn't go with the company, Based on just the reviews, honestly, I went to the company. Based on my interactions with Travis and like I said he was honest he was fair. He answered all my questions without hesitation. And he made things easy. If I had any concerns, he put em to rest even all the way up to the day of harvest. Now I'll talk a little bit about the meat. The meat is extremely good. It's like I want to say fresh. But heck, it's fresh, it's fresh from the cow fresh and processor processed it perfectly. For me and it's like we made our first couple roasts and it's like I will honestly say it's better than any beef that I've ever bought from the store. Definitely. We'll be buying from them again. Maybe not in the next year or so since i did get two cows. I got more meat that allows me a year or so, but I'm pretty sure within the next year and a half. I will probably be looking again because I know my kids are gonna be taking some of the meat home with them But I definitely would recommend Travis and his family to all my family and friends and in fact, I already have, and I think 3 or 4 of them actually already bought their own whole cows. So definitely if you're looking to buy a whole cow. And you wanna save money on your beef. Definitely. Look up. TX Bar Grassfed Cattle Company and send them a message they respond fast not days or weeks. Also I almost forgot. You can also be on-site on your harvest day. If you wish to take certain sections of the cow that the butcher processor won't bring back to the shop. Because of certain reasons. If you want those items, you just need to let Travis know. And he'll let you know around the time that your cow would be harvested on that day. And you can be there to collect those items on-site. So you can also watch the process.I'm assuming too, me myself and I didn't do it.But you know, that's long drive.So wasn't like really looking to do a two and a half hour.One way drived in two and a half hour back. But AAA++

California Olive Ranch Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a solid, reliable everyday olive oil that delivers…read moregood quality and versatility at a fair price. It's not flashy or considered a speciality olive oil, but for most home cooking situations, it's more than good enough. Choosing a glass bottled olive oil like California Olive Ranch means you get a product that's more likely to taste as the producer intended, it actually stays fresh longer, and avoids potential downsides associated with plastic bottles (flavor degradation, possible chemical migration, shorter shelf life). So if you're cooking regularly or using olive oil for salads, dressings, drizzling I recommend a glass bottle it is well worth the slightly higher cost.

It is a coincidence that I have had a bottle of their Olive Oil in my cabinet. I realized it has a Use by date of October 9th 2025! I'm upset that I didn't use it. It's the most delicious Olive Oil I've ever tasted. It is great on toast and definitely makes my greens more tasty. The price has certainly gone up since 2023 as you will see in my pictures. What do you think? Should I eat it after the Use By Date or flush it!
