Dropped by on a chilly Saturday afternoon. 4 of us weren't really sure what to expect from a baked…read morepotato truck, but came away pleasantly impressed. They were having a special on their Vegetable Beef soup. After a sample, I was ready to order a bowl! Fresh veggies, potato and very tender and flavorful beef. The others had a Loaded Baked Potato, another Loaded with Grilled Chicken and extra Bacon, and then a twist - a Baked Sweet Potato with butter, brown sugar, bacon... it was amazing! This food truck is a big departure from the typical run-of-mill food truck. It's very clean inside and out, and the staff's incredibly competent and friendly.

Even his branding is on point with adorable logo stickers and a mini tumbler keychain! We sampled five different hot dog creations, and each one had its own unique flavor and personality. My personal favorite was the Classic, as I'm more of a traditional hot dog fan and not much into chili, cheese, or mashed toppings. But there truly was something for everyone. The Nathan's hot dogs were cooked to perfection and served on soft, buttery brioche buns that really elevated the experience. Since he's still in the early stages of launching his business, he's experimenting with different creations, so the menu may change from week to week as he discovers what his customers enjoy most. If you're looking to support a local small business, be sure to check out Cruz'n Dogs! Hours: Weekends from 1:00 PM - 6:00 PM Cruz'n Dogs offer delivery within the Fernley area for a small fee of up to $4. Wishing Luis nothing but success on this exciting new venture! You all know I'm a huge supporter of local entrepreneurs and small businesses. They're the heart of our communities, and supporting them is one of the best ways to help our local economy grow. Best of luck, Luis--I can't wait to see Cruz'n Dogs continue to grow and succeed!

My family and I had the opportunity to visit Albaugh Ranch today, run by Norris Albaugh, a fifth…read moregeneration cattle rancher. My son is doing a sixth grade project on humanely raised meat, and he chose to interview Norris Albaugh because we've been buying grass fed beef and lamb from him for the past two years. We were greeted by Norris and his young son in front of Norris' parents' ranch house. We entered the house, were warmly introduced to his parents, and his mother offered us some freshly baked cookies and a seat. We spent the next 2.5 hours at Albaugh Ranch. My son had the opportunity to ask many questions, and afterward, Norris took us on a tour of the ranch. We got to see lambs and calves that had been born today, right on the pasture, and my son even got to hold one. In my last review, I highly recommended Albaugh ranch, and I feel even more strongly about that now. Not only is the meat delicious, but we are supporting the life work of a really great local family who put great care and thought into what they do.

I just could not be more pleased with the service and meat. I have brought 3 people into our…read morebuying group now, and nothing but positive reviews. We experimented with small quantities of meat from others, including the local co-op and sampling small amounts of meat, and hands down, I find the meat provided by albaugh to be more tender, consistent flavor, not overly gamey or earthy, and first class, treat you like family service. I've never had bad service from any of the local farmers/ranchers in our area, but combine the service with the meat and you can't go wrong with Albaugh Ranch! Their prices are also some of the most competitive, I have found.

Located on Center and South Maine, it's very easy to find and there is plenty of parking downtown. Downtown businesses are also opened which can make for a pleasant evening event. Lattin Farms is always there with it's vegetables and fruits, jams and sauces. We picked up some gorgeous tomatoes for our Labor Day BBQ. A farmer from Sanger, CA was there with some sweet and delicious plums, nectarines, peaches, grapes and other fruits. I picked up some of those nectarines. They were so good! There were also vendors who made pastries, cookies, and pies. I was also intrigued by the vendors who make their own soaps, bath salts, vanilla extract, bamboo knotted grocery bags and cotton grocery bags. Got there late as folks were packing up, but just in time to get my food and enjoy what was left. If you get there early, you may catch local musicians, a larger crowd, and more sights and savory smells!

Most locals know Rise and Shine Farms as a great CSA that provide produce and eggs, but they also…read moreraise poultry. They are the only local source I have been able to find that can regularly supply me with locally raised chickens that eat organic grain, native plants, and insects. Their birds actually move around in a large open space, hunting and pecking at bugs and local forage. (What a concept)! I stopped buying organic chicken from Costco and even Whole Foods after I did a little research about it. I discovered that Petaluma Farms, which supplies organic chicken to Whole Foods, boasts that their chickens have one square foot to live in, instead of the industry standard of 3/4 square foot per bird. Seriously? It's right on their website. I was paying $14 for a chicken that was living in a space a little bigger than a piece of copy paper for it's entire life. It is widely known that even though birds in these environments have "outdoor access", most of them never actually get out there because they're crammed together inside. I currently have a six-month chicken subscription with Rise and Shine that started in May. Every month, Mike, the owner, drives from Fallon to Reno and delivers three chickens to my door. I prepaid with Paypal, and I don't even have to leave my house. Last Fall, we preordered 25 birds and they were all delivered at once (they raise them specifically for you). We plan to do that again after our subscription ends. Last year, we also ordered a turkey for Thanksgiving and a goose for Christmas. (That was really cool; we had never had goose before.) Our family has completely gone local when it comes to buying meat, and we will never go back. All poultry comes from Rise and Shine and beef and lamb comes from Albaugh Farms. We're still looking for a local source for pork. Until then, we've essentially given it up. I highly recommend Rise and Shine Farms without hesitation.

Everything is baked fresh, from the amazing sourdough bread to the scones, chocolate chips cookies, and whoopie pies. The aroma alone when you open the bag is just heavenly. You can really taste the difference and know that everything is made from quality organic ingredients and a lot of love. La Mère is definitely my go to bakery for sourdough and sweet treats.
