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.

We packed them down and they ended up in Texas the 1st jar opened was the stuffed almond Olives these dudes are big boys, hand stuffed with almond and soaked in brine the flavor is zesty, Olive still with some crunch and the almond just falls apart against the teeth. What an experience I savored every bite, I caught myself with olive on fork just looking at it thinking Damn. I'm on the 2nd jar hand stuffed pimento their brine is really good not too bitter as to take away from the olive itself. I would Love to order these online the stores here don't stock them, I'm on a search for a way to get them delivered.

Love Stafford's chocolates and their drinks and staff. They have different unique flavored…read morechocolates for different seasons but the local favorites remain the same and stand the test of time. I know everyone love the red wine truffle, but my personal favorite is their lavender truffle. Did I forget to mention that they have sugar free chocolates too for diabetics. Those sugar free ones are the best in town. I wish they have an even larger selection of sugar free chocolates bc those are truly amazing They also sell drinks like the Portervillian ( a specialty latte), various matcha flavored drinks etc. and have a loyalty card for drinks only. I can't wait to find out what else is in store as the months go by. Sometimes I find a sourdough loaf of bread sitting on the counter for sale. Wish I bought it cuz it was only there for like a week.

I have heard about this chocolate shop for about a decade, but as it is about 70 miles from my…read morehome, I had not been there. But on a recent Quilt shop hop, imagine my surprised to discover the Quilt store was two doors down from Stafford's. I think that was a sign that I had to go visit. The double sign was that the quilt shop gave away coupons during their event for one free piece of chocolate. So for my free piece of chocolate, I chose the red wine truffle. Oh my goodness, I had to close my eyes to savor it, the taste was that sensational! The shop itself is beautiful. It has tables inside so you can sit and enjoy their confections. All of the shelves are lined with all kinds of specialty chocolates. These include chocolate covered nuts, truffles, bars, Pops, and all kinds of delicious concoctions. You can order single pieces at the front counter for an individual choice and they will compose a box of your selections. They also had many, many packaged items ready to go on the shelves. The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable about their offerings. They were willing to explain the different flavors; the cost of a box of six individual truffles which you can select was $12.50. There's parking in front of the shop on the street and also behind. It's nestled in the Porterville downtown area with multiple Restaurants and eateries very close by. One could have a fun day window shopping, lunching out and then popping by Stafford's for a sweet treat and to buy gifts to take home. Absolutely not to be missed!

I'm from out of town and was here for work. By happenstance I wandered in for other Stuff and noticed they served fresh fried chicken. I ordered a four piece meal and it was awesome.

They've been around since 1886, and you can feel that long-standing pride and tradition the moment you walk in. Most of their produce is locally grown, which makes everything taste so fresh and flavorful -- except for the mangoes and kiwis, which they source elsewhere. The fruits, jams, vegetables, and snacks are beautifully displayed and reasonably priced. The staff is friendly and always willing to help if you're looking for something specific. The store is small and easy to navigate, and clearly run with care. It's the kind of place that makes you feel good about supporting local farmers while getting great quality at the same time. Wish we had this in L.A.! If you're a local or on your way to the National Parks, stop by and grab some fruit and snacks -- you won't regret it!!!
