The fantastic rain we got over the winter combined with our world-renowned amounts of sunshine make the FresYes area a produce bonanza right now. What better time to bump up your fruit and veg consumption with a subscription to a CSA box? In the last few weeks, I've been introducing you to CSA (community-supported agriculture) services here in the Valley. I've covered Ooooby Fresno and The … [Read more...]
Break The Barriers Challenges Expectations While Advocating for Ability Awareness
4 p.m. is go time at Break the Barriers. I'd arrived for my tour at 3 p.m., during a slight lull in the action. Chief of Operations Jared Hergenrader informed me I'd just missed the veterans. A dedicated group comes in daily, as BTB is one of only three Adaptive Sports Facilities that caters to veterans in California. As we chatted, kids started streaming in. Chatting in groups, some were … [Read more...]

(Not that I have anything against a good mimosa. But you know what I mean.) I ran across just such a place by accident last weekend. Occasionally, amazing things can happen just when you Google "Fresno gluten-free … [Read more...]
Here Are 5 Places You Can Learn to Swim in Fresno
Summer in FresYes (or at least, very hot weather) is coming up fast. Spending the day keeping cool in the pool is a time-honored way to coast through those 100+ degree days that are inevitably coming our way. And while we are still currently enjoying the blossoming trees and the respite between the rain and the heat, it’s also the official time of year to sign up for swim lessons. If you … [Read more...]
