Bravo Farms Vintage Cheese Factory

So much to say about this place!! First of all, they have an amazing assortment of different salami's, I got the herb de Provence, and I would've grabbed more if I hadn't been about to travel. I originally pulled over because it said it was a cheese shop, and I happen to love cheese, but in the end because we were driving and I had another 7 or so hours of driving left, only bought non perishable goods. They also have a lot of things made nearby, they had some really awesome nuts, I picked up the cappuccino almonds as well as some toffee pecans. There's also an area where you can buy fresh made fudge that's absolutely amazing!! They offer samples and each of the employees there was super nice. Out in the back area, there is a treehouse that's stupidly high, it took me over 30 seconds to climb to the top and I do not recommend it for claustrophobic people, but it was absolutely fantastic!! I had a lot of fun going to the top, personally. In the back, there's a little petting farm sort of situation where you can pay quarters to feed the animals, there is a donkey as well as a pig and some roosters, peacock and rabbits, as well as we saw a cat walking around, though she seemed to have no interest in us. There is a miniature "shooting" range game, an area to pan for gold/other items and a tiny play ground for the kiddies. There's also a restaurant there on site but we had literally just eaten beforehand so unfortunately, we didn't stop there, but it looked large, clean and like a great place for a family meal. If I'm ever back in this direction for whatever reason, I will definitely stop in again.

Nice spot to stop and stretch your legs and get some yummy goodies. Plenty of truck parking. We got several cheeses and jams, glass bottle milk and Easter egg nog. Everything we've tasted so far has been delicious. It is pricey, but to be expected these days, I wish they had cheese samples though.The bathrooms are nice, big and clean. Go out back to find a treehouse you can climb to the second story that overlooks the petting zoo animals. The slide down was unexpectedly fast lol. Don't forget the poor sheep they are next to the Tesla chargers and they were very happy for scratches. Nice little dog walk over there too.We walked across the street for Indian (which was great!) but the restaurant there smelled and looked good too, we'll try it next time.

Cool roadside attraction with lots of things for everyone.The petting zoo and kids play area is nice for stretching the legs.That's with most roadside attractions, everything is pretty expensive, but it's cool that the kids can play for free and you can get a decent meal.

Cool location with a tree house, small farm animals, antique boutique, and ok at best food. The food was pricy and as stated just "ok"; so I don't recommend eating there. $35 (+ tip for them to just ring up my order at the counter) for a pulled pork sandwich and a brisket sandwich. The meat at the highest point in each sandwich was 3/8"! I believe I later saw it was 4 oz of meat - sad!!! The meat didn't have a smoked flavor and/or any BBQ sauce to liven it up. They did give you 2 oz of bland coleslaw or 2oz of some type of mixed beans (both were not good and not eaten).The food took away 2 stars or it would have been 5!!In short, go for the atmosphere, antiques, cheese, and trinkets but NOT for the food!!!

Super neat place to stop and visit if you are driving along the 99 highway. Once you enter, there is a little gift shop and store where you can buy all these different treats and cheeses. What I really loved was the really cool 7 story treehouse that you can climb inside of. They also have a little animal feeding spot where you can pay a minimal fee of $1 or so to feed the sheep. My daughter and I spent a couple hours browsing around the gift shop and interacting with the animals. Would stop by again if passing through again.

Burger tasted great, which, for costing $25, it damn well better.Especially after witnessing their SAMPLE-PORTIONED SIDES, with all 12 of my campfire beans being downed in one shot during unbeknownst fasting.No drink, no way.Did pay nearly $10 for a micro 3.oz habanero cheddar loaf that tasted okay.Also, dont make the mistake of grabbing a menu and finding a booth to wait for service.... it'll NEVER COME...idk why they even put the menus out for people to grab, it's misleading.Check the pic to see what $30 gets one person.

Super clean bathrooms, lots of room to park. Lot's of room to walk around and plenty of stuff to look at. Expensive tourist stop items. Plus cheese, fudge and really good Rosa 🍨 ice cream!!! Staff completely ignored me, even tried to smile and say Hi to the employee at the fudge counter and get her attention but she was involved in the cash register. No one at ice cream counter when I was there. ( My son ended up getting the absolutely delicious ice cream for us)No prices on drinks and such so I stopped looking.Cute dog area too!!

Great stop for FAMILIES on the way to camping kings canyon from Southern California. Found this place after one stop a few years ago and it’s a great place for kids to poke around and pet/feed some unusually clean farm animals. Rabbits, llama, chicken, a bird or two, and a couple of mules?/mini donkeys?There’s inside seating and outside seating. Outside seating has full sun and some shade with mist machines for those who need a break.They have also built a small dog obstacle course outside that has gate. Not as big as a dog park but something is better than nothing! Probably great for medium to smaller dogs.Parking can be tight during lunch hours but there’s plenty and an additional gravel lot next to the large barn.Inside there’s so many treasures, gifts, and candies for kids to adults. Literally all types of gifts from board games to wooden sling shots to wonky mother-law-signs for the yard.Bathrooms are relatively clean, considering the amount of people that go through there. For males, there’s only a single stall for #2 so ….maybe try the several other gas stations if you really gotta do the dooty.

The dinning area is really nice. Very family friendly. A little on the expensive side but not going to blow your budget. Didn't have many ice cream flavors at the moment but since it's close to summer that might change. Liked the gift shop, had tons of cute items such as: toys for kids, candy tons of candy, funny postcards, and tons of items to remember your trip to Traver. They had some animals: a llama, a goat, 2 donkeys, 2 chickens, a pig, 3 bunnies, 2 quails (I think),a parakeet?, and a PEACOCK !! The only thing I don't like is that you can't really interact with many of the animals, it's understandable for the safety of the children, but it would be better to get a little closer. Really nice area to spend a couple of hours with your family.I'm Carlos Dominguez, and I approve this message. 👌

This is a fantastic place to enjoy the local fare. From the milk they produce, to the fresh homemade cheeses. This is fun for the entire family. If you're looking for something fun and somewhat unique. This is the place. Not only is the gift shop filled with things for the entire family. But having electric charges for your vehicles. Actually 10 of them I believe. From sweets to savory. A small restaurant and homemade fudge. And if you're looking for local vintner for wine. This is the place as well. From local farms around the region. Help support the local.

Excellent rest stop and restaurant. They have a great selection of snacks for the road, for gifts, and just because.

Always love stopping here. Fun little shop. Delicious cheeses and lotsa farm/barn decorations. Only gripe is antique store sometimes closes with bad heat. So if hot out would for sure call first. Petting zoo is fun but the lama may bite but he just really wants is food. They have plenty of feed machines for quarters. If you don't spend em all lotsa kid rides and a shooting gallery. We will be back for sure.

Definitely worth it and I’m pretty sure I will revisit. Great place to take kids. The food and drinks were delicious and reasonably priced. As a photographer, this would be a great place for candid Family photos and a farm style engagement shoot. The outside of the building is a great spot for photos actually. The gift shop is awesome.

Always a good road trip stop to pick up a box of cheese and crackers for the car. Got to hang out with Larry the llama and his friends which was really fun. This time I skipped the tree house but it's always so cool to see it. Restaurant and ice cream shop on the side is a nice pit stop too.

Great place for family fun. Farm animal friendly that is great for all ages. Setting ares are large and open for indoor and outdoor. Big tree house that is fun for any age, even adults. Games that are functional and entertaining. Bathrooms are clean and comfortable. Antique store with reasonable prices, parking is good. Cheese factory is nice for showing new how cheese is made and or produced. The place would have gotten a 5 star , but the restaurant service was not to its best. They forgot my tri-tip in my order, was not a big deal but Tri-Tip is one of there main courses on the menu. However, I will most likely stop by again if on hwy 99 near Visalia.

Fun, eclectic stop in the middle of nowhere. Plenty to see and do for both adults and children and children, and there is also a small dog park for your 4 legged family member. Bring quarters for the petting zoo, and you will be some sheep and goats best friend! Watch out for the Lama though, he spits! There in an antique barn, a huge shop with plenty of souvenirs and snacks, nice restroom facilities, a fudge shop, restaurant, and a multi-story tree house out back.

We stopped to use the Tesla superchargers & found this awesome Gem! Go inside so much cute stuff. Great for kids, ice cream, quick bites & cute gifts to have for keepsakes. Oh & all the yummy cheese!

The workers are pretty nice and it’s a decent place to stop and stretch your legs. The gun game basically none of the animatronics and targets are working/moving correctly so they only make noise. Didn’t see a sign that it wasn’t working and they probably should have shut it down if it is being repaired at that state.

What a cool place to explore and get some goodies as well as yummy fudge. The selection of items in gift shop is very good. Haven’t tried anything other than fudge but bought lots of little stuff. I don’t know why I did but they make cute gifts or put in your collection. 😀

I love this place! Definitely a place where you can stop, rest, get some good food/ snacks while charging your car or get some gas before hitting the road again. The place is clean, they have fresh cheese and delicious ice cream.

This place is a must stop for anyone who loves cheese salami Collectibles and treats. The food served is better than most places but not great. The tri-tip sandwich was good, but there was more bread than there was meat. Every time I stop by through here I spend about $100 on cheese. My favorite is the Garlic Jack followed by the smoked gouda. There's a great place for the kids to get out and stretch your legs with a Petting Farm where you can feed goats sheep and a llama. There's also a seven story treehouse and many attractions for the kids so that they're not so cooped up in the car for so long. They are currently expanding the restaurants to make it bigger and from the years of coming here this place just keeps on getting better and better.

HOME OF THE 7 STORY TREE HOUSE!!!!!!!!! Watch my video. If you are traveling down HWY99 and need to stretch your legs make a stop at Bravo farms. Gets some cheese and let the kids run around! Lots of video games and a petting zoo! Make sure you climb up the 7 story tree house its a fun roadside attraction!

Kitschy and run down. Just feels tired. Not as fun as it once was. The steps to the tree house were a death trap. The arcade doesn’t work. The animals look unhappy and unhealthy. Food is just so-so.Can’t justify the $43 in food for two adults and two kids.Playground equipment is in disrepair and dangerous but only cordoned off by a single yellow caution tape. As if that will deter a 4 year old. It’s almost like they don’t know kids or haven’t had them over before.

Stopped in on my way back from Modesto today, first time here since the remodel. The improved menu is a awesome! All the food was delicious, beer was ice cold in a nice fresh frosted glass, brought home $40 worth of snacks from the Shoppe, worth every penny! The garlic jack and habanero cheddar are personal favorites. Loving the upgrades to the property! Tree house is much safer now too!

Pretty cool place to stop with the kids! The food at the restaurant looked good but we needed to get back on the road so we'll have to try next time. There were a couple area's that need a little maintenance i.e. upper deck but otherwise great.
