Bravo Farms Vintage Cheese Factory - Rest stop in Traver - 36005 CA-99, USA

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.

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.

Bravo Farms where you can just go visit and have a good time. Enjoy The tasty snacks and treats they have to offer!

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.

The best supercharger we stopped at on our road trip! A super fast and not busy charge and bravo farms was fantastic! The food from the restaurant was great and so was the cheese!
