These are the best blueberries you'll ever try. My family has gone picking several times (we're…read moregone twice already this season) and it is not only loads of fun but the blueberries are SO GOOD. We've gone picking at other local farms, but nobody else has such flavorful blueberries. If you don't feel like picking your own, they have pre-picked berries for purchase. It's a short drive from Merced, and totally worth it! Note that the entrance to the farm is easy to miss. They're open during pandemic-- call ahead or text.

The new Dino Ranch attraction is spectacular and full of animatronics. The lines move very fast.The huge barn is very beautiful and full of pumpkins. Plenty of seating and food available. The kettle corn you can smell it throughout most of the place. I would say this pumpkin patch is similar in size to the ones you would find in Half Moon Bay only this one is nicer and more organized and the best part only 15 minutes away from home. Ignore the 1 star reviews and go see for yourself. We almost didn't visit because of the negative reviews. If you are expecting the red carpet dignitary treatment then you will be disappointed. I found the staff to be very friendly. Lots of workers and the place is kept up very well and very clean. Also plenty of restrooms so there was no lines to use them. Lots of spots for pictures throughout. Pricing is very reasonable and lower than other pumpkin patches that have similar attractions. The only thing different we would have done is h on purchased the season pass. One day pass was $20 and the season pass is $40. The only reason we didn't buy it was because of the bad reviews and we had never been here before. You will not be disappointed!

Lots of memories and pictures over the years here at Hunter Farms

Great chicken breasts, great product created by nature, but Foster Farms company messed up this…read morewonderful product by adding way too much salt to this product. Why? It's impossible to consume/eat those chicken breasts if you simply defrost them in the air - too much salt. It Is also impossible to drink chicken bouillon in which these chicken breasts were cooked - bullion is way over salted, so it has to go to the garbage every time. There is ~300mg of sodium on 4oz of chicken breasts. The only one way to bring those chicken breasts to normal condition is to soak them in the water for a long time to wash the salt out, before cooking. Why are you adding so much salt? Can't find a logical explanation. Or maybe you just want to cause harm to people, because too much salt causes the following health issues: high blood pressure, risk of developing osteoporosis, kidney problems, risk of stomach cancer, worsening heart health. I'm sure that Foster Farms company is aware of that, so why are you messing up this wonderful product consciously and on purpose by adding way too much salt?

NO, absolutely not Comments: Imagine the texture of firm " cheese-food" yet your taste buds say blanched tofu. No cheddar flavor whatsoever. Consumer experience: minus 15 From the package I was directed to the web page which listed 209-394-7984. The person who answered (normal business hours) said "Plant Security". The security officer pondered my request for "consumer relations" for a while before suggesting that I speak with Vince in quality control. Vince made me feel like an SS Titanic passenger first class who just been plunged naked in to polar waters. O.K. got it, Gallo is agribusiness at its worst. Don't let the nice packaging fool you. "Natural" has no industry accepted meaning. Doubtful that the cows are treated any better than consumers. I do not believe the claim: "No artificial hormones" Absent from the label is "no rBST" . This is not organically produced cheese. Antibiotics are given to the cows which are not free range or grass fed. I didn't pay for organic cheese, but I did expect better quality.

As an airplane lover I would never say don't go. The history there is considerable. The docent volunteers are devoted folks from the area and a lovable bunch at that. But present management of the overall grounds, buildings and to some degree the planes themselves REALLY needs to be addressed. I took the former chairman of the museum board with me and he was shocked at the way it looked. Come on folks.

The ladies who volunteer are wealths of information with deep roots in our town ready to give more background or give recommendations on more to do in this town. The last time I saw the museum was in high school (2012) and it was a time capsule through the ages. The way it looks now is more focus on Turlock and I find that a nice direction to go in.

I called the company number on the bottle. The system greeting said how they were so customer service oriented and blah blah .. Which was all BS. They have ZERO intention of dealing with any issues. They said do not drink the wine since the bottle is defective. They also said ALL their wines EXPIRE 1 year from being bottled.
