Bravo Farms Vintage Cheese Factory - Traver, California

Neat little shop with lots of options for food, drinks, and sweets.

The cheese however is very overpriced and not very good at all (we tried the "Tipsy Goat" goat cheese - drunken goat knock off - at almost $30 per pound but my wife and I agreed it tasted terrible, and I'm scared to try the gouda).

Looks like I fell victim to the tourist trap, lesson learned.

BTW, the petting zoo is a sad little pen with just a few sheep in it as far as I could tell.

Instead go across the street for some pretty great BBQ or hold on til Fresno!

I thought it would be crowded since it was the weekend, but I arrived early, and it was quiet. I ordered a breakfast bowl from the morning menu, and it had a lot of bacon— which was great. What I liked the most was the reasonable price and the extremely friendly staff.

Great experience at this restaurant! Food is really great! Had the Breakfast bowl 🥣 eggs cheese on tatertots! Son had a Breakfast sandwich. The gift shop is a must see as well! Nothing bad about this place! I highly recommend traveling to this place! You won't be disappointed. We did pick up fudge and cheese and a candle along with a few other things! We absolutely didn't mind spending money here! It is definitely worth it.

I love stopping here, give yourself time to go through the gift shop. The cheeses, Nuts, and dryed fruit selections are amazing.

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.

From the highway, we were a little skeptical. But once we got there, we were not disappointed. Lovely shop with some unique treasures. I, personally, was not too impressed with the petting zoo, but my son was thrilled with it and that’s all that counts! Absolutely recommend you to stop and check it out!

Cockatiel is still outside freezing in mid December. It is freezing outside, foggy, we are all in big jackets and it is all alone. I told the employees last time it is way out of its climate range and here it still is in mid December, no cover box or any other bird to warm up to. Sad!

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.
