It had been about six years since we wandered this way. A back road adventure we knocked on the office door and asked for a tour. The tasting room was brand new and only open on weekends (now and then). We were new to Farmers Brewing but that didn’t last long.

This cold and rainy April day we went for a Sunday drive and happily found ourselves at the Princeton brewery. A stroke of good luck. A good crowd included many regulars. I enjoyed a Thai Mango Farmers Light and Mike had a lager. We also had street tacos from a Willows pop-up – delicious! Ashley Ness, Manager and brewer, was all smiles and 5-star hospitality. The taproom is light and airy housed inside the brewery. Plenty of seats at the bar and tables throughout. Picnic tables out front. Glad we took the roads less traveled from Chico. We won’t watt another six years to return. Oh, you’ll want GPS. There are no road signs along any of the main roads to show the way. How we ever discovered Farmers six years ago is still something of a mystery.

Farmers Brewing has a taproom and restaurant in Chico. Their beers are available at many retail outlets. You can also purchase cases and growlers at the Princeton location – and lots of Farmers branded schwag.
