This place is amazing--and award winning. You can't go wrong with their seasoned pot roast; we buy…read moreit often when entertaining. (Unseasoned is also available, but their seasoning is perfect.) Then there's the holidays. I'd never smoked a Thanksgiving turkey and don't particularly like the flavor of smoked meats, but theirs is just right. Very mild smoke flavor but the most tender and juicy turkey we've ever had. We'll never again cook it ourselves! Add on steaks they'll cut to whatever thickness you want, sausage, and so on, and this is a definite go-to right in the heart of Tulare. Give it a try. You won't regret it!

It was amazing!…read more A lot of local butchers have a similar mix (I live in Sonoma County), but I must say this was phenomenal (maybe the best I've had or it's just been so long).

For Christmas we enjoyed one of Maddy's famous charcuterie boards, another hit to our family's gathering. Throughout the year, I've also enjoyed special orders like beef short ribs and beef bacon, yes beef bacon (delicious) from the Porterville Fair. When you shop with them, you know you're investing back into our community. Shelley and J&R Meats are everywhere. From chamber events, school sponsoring, golf tournament, giving out turkeys with the casino, raising money for Tova, creating and donating Christmas trees for SVMC fundraiser, partnering with OACYS fundraising for the Family Crisis Center, sponsoring and helping out with local fairs and participants, feeding those in need of a warm meal with Plates of Hope, and I'm sure many more, but they're so humble you won't hear this from them. They just do it! We are fortunate to have them in Porterville and our community.

Great selection and friendly staff, however I was overcharged 50% of my total purchase price. When…read moreI asked they said to make sure I speak up next time when I'm overcharged, because it's not uncommon for them to do so.

I had my first pig slaughtered and cut here. They do not cut like a butchers place or wrap either…read more All other butchers have their own rules, like kosher, closed on Saturday, etc. Very stressful, needed alcohol while waiting. Not prepared at all. Take gloves for bagging, boxing, or however you plan to transport your meat home. They sold us trash bags to transport meat home. Plus, this restroom is pretty filthy and smelly. It was an interesting experience for one time only. Never again will I do this, like I did. I had to recut so it would fit in my freezer, whatever pieces they gave me, meaning they just cut my pig in pieces, small pieces that I could not tell what was what. Never will I come back here.

Since the closure of two other livestock farms that the Hmong community utilizes, Panoche Livestock…read moreis the closest to Fresno that still provides all the necessary facilities for livestock. Because of this, their prices of livestock sky rocketed making it hard to make a purchase of a livestock of your needs. If you are afraid of germs, and need cleanliness, this is not the place for you. You're better off visiting a local grocery store to purchase your meat. The facility itself is old and needs to be updated. Their bathroom needs to be cleaned more often during the day. There is only one unisex bathroom. The stench in the restroom is similar to what you'll smell if you walked through a pig's pen. Their main slaughter house area is a disaster waiting to happen. The room is small. Their propane area for the torches are right next to an area where people walk back and forth. Their sink area for cleaning intestines are filthy and hardly cleaned (this goes for all facilities that I've been to). When working in the sink areas, often times their drainage in the floor gets plugged up, and it back flows. You need to be careful because you will be standing in filthy water. All in all, until there is another livestock place in Fresno that ups the ante on facility standards, and cleanliness practices, Panoche will most definitely have a monopoly over the purchase of livestock for cultural purposes. Until then, two stars is all you get.

Highly disappointing to see the Country Store as of late…read more We have been going to Harris Ranch for as long as I can remember and I am 52 years old. It feels like our home away from home as we go back and forth from Northern California and to visit our family in Orange County. We always LOVED seeing the store and its unique gifts that filled the entire place. For some time, there looks to be maybe a quarter of what they used to have. So sad... I used to come and find a lot of my Christmas gifts for people during the holidays. This past Christmas, I went in and the place looked desolate. I was confused and wondered if I missed it all? I don't know if Harris Ranch is not doing well, but it really looks like they're struggling if you look at the empty feel of the store. We just left the shop now on our way back down to Southern California and once again shocked and highly disappointment. It was bad.. I really hope that whatever happening there gets better so that the store can return to the gorgeous shop that it once was.

Of course, it was luke warm and of course it was not good. I also bought the chocolate concha and it was a deep yellow and ive been to mexico and had normal conchas and this one was distasteful.
