I've been an Elks member for over 25 years, in another city, while in Chico Ca. decided to visit…read morethe Elks Lodge, went twice, a Monday evening an a Wednesday evening. Was saddened that not one member welcomed us to your lodge either evening, with the exception of the bartender asking for our membership card. Both nights we saw governing members of your lodge, yet not one of them came over to welcome us, introduce themselves, ask where we're from, what brings us to the Chico Lodge?? etc.. Wednesday was your burger night, we thought about staying, but since No one had even spoke to us, we felt unwelcome, we decided to go elsewhere for our dinner!! Your Governing personal needs to pay more attention to strangers in your lodge, If I'd been someone looking to join the Elks, I'd have walked out, not interested in returning!!! Every lodge is struggling to get new members, pay attention to how you treat strangers in your Lodge!!! Also, if I'd been from the ABC, a couple things I saw, I could have shut your lodge down for 90 days!!!!!! Wake up and pay attention to who's in Your Lodge!!!! It makes a big difference!!!! To set an example, went into a Elks Lodge in Oregon, within a few minutes the Exalted Ruler had introduced himself, welcomed us to there Lodge, introduced us to other local members, the bartender housed our 2nd drink, with a welcome to the lodge, was invited to join a group for there dinner!! Such a huge difference than the way we were treated in Chico.... Wake Up Chico!!!!

It was a long, tedious ritualistic endeavor. It was expensive too. $400 for both of us. Then covid hit. We only used the lodge 2-3 times total for meals, we don't drink. I asked them if they would extend our membership and they said no, we had to repay! Since then, 2 different couples have told us they are members and the cost is $200 for a couple. The husband becomes the member and the wife is included. I asked them about it. No refund offered. This dishonesty makes me question the whole club. The rituals taken from the freemasons, known to be not good, was creepy too.

As Jenn M said "Faith in humanity restored" should pretty much be their tagline…read more I like to donate to this place during Thanksgiving considering how many poor turkeys are slaughtered in factory farms every year. I'm not gonna lie.. you really have to be committed to make the drive up here but I truly think it's worth it. They offer 2 group tours every other weekend for $5 where they show you the goats, turkeys, cows, pigs and more! You also get to walk around the farm at your leisure until 4PM when they close to the public. It was refreshing to be around people who were curious about their food and questioning current industry practices. I learned that pigs were actually pretty clean and loved to be petted! Of course.. I posted pics on Facebook and got made fun of for driving so far to visit a farm but unfortunately ignorance isn't something that today's society is lacking. This place is special.. and if you don't get it then don't come here and go to Safeway, buy your factory farmed animal torture meat, have your BBQ's, and live your life in ignorance. At least I can sleep at night knowing that there are some good people out there who are trying their best to make the smallest difference.

My faith in humanity is restored! I went up to the Farm Sanctuary for thier 4th of July "Pignic"…read morecelebration, a free event with hourly tours and a vegan BBQ. It was amazing. Every animal there has a story, and your tour guides tell you all about them (and where they like to be scratched and petted!). You will really appreciate how much personality and emotion each animal has. And it's so refreshing to know there are places like this and people that care enough to dedicate their lives to helping those who cannot help themselves. The BBQ was so damn good I was a fat bastard and ate a veggieburger AND a veggiedog. There were also endless Alternative Baking Co cookies - a blessing and a curse. The gift shop is neat - they have tons of cooking & resource books, ice cream treats & snacks, and the usual t-shirts and mugs. You can get involved in the "adopt a farm animal" project here, which allows you special visiting privileges and other goodies. The Sanctuary is about a 3-hour drive from the Bay Area, totally doable for a day. But there is a little pet-friendly cabin onsite if you want to spend the weekend. I adore this place. Knowing the horrors that "food" animals suffer through makes you appreciate just watching these animals be animals - grazing, lounging, just roaming around and taking it easy, living a happy life. A very joyful place indeed.

The lady was so rude and told me if I wanted something cheap I should go to Safeway which I don't have a car to go to. I was attempting to buy local and was willing to buy $25 worth of flowers to litter the house. She made me feel so unwelcome and told me 'I don't know how to help you'. I started with telling her about my Grandma being sick, I can't believe someone would be so rude after that. I feel a hundred times worse than I did before and it made this hard time so much more painful. I don't know how this place will stay open if they treat their customers like this. Horrible service!!!

Saw some cuties on the website asked about them. 560$ What is this?? Is this genuine care of a good home or a puppy mill? This wasn't the end of the experience. I texted whoever the person was to ask regarding other puppies. 650$ and higher. Not only were chihuahuas way over priced. Their attitudes are not professional or welcoming. They have all the wrong people wrking in there. Every question I asked regarding the doggies. Rude responses. It's like I'm bothering them. If you're going wrk with animals and give them the best chance possible be thorough with people, kind and put those prices more reasonable. There's more cost like vet care supplies so all that needs to be considered.
