Family Fun Day #4

Let's see...sorry to those of you waiting on proverbial pins and needles for our most recent Family Fun Day updates. Day #4 happened a couple of weeks back. We scoured the internet for things to do in Fresno and we came up with...drumroll...Simonian Farms. Yep. Simonian Farms.

Simonian Farms is this family owned and run farming operation on the southeast side of Fresno (SE corner of Clovis and Jensen for you locals). Website is here. From our experience, these four things are true:

1. They have a lot of old, hulking tractors at Simonian Farms. And, for some reason, many of them are displayed on stilts.
2. Littered amongst said old, hulking tractors are other old, hulking things, including scales, phone booths, ovens, sinks, etc.
3. The claim to fame for Simonian Farms seems to be the September 5, 1995 visit of then President Bill Clinton. Pictures everywhere. Site here.
4. They have a lot of stuff for sale in the store, and this would be the reason to grace Simonian Farms with your presence. Our family enjoyed the toffee peanuts and the candy fruit slices. We topped it off with some Mexican soda. It was a pleasant snack in the shade.
