Nestled amidst the dairies and orchards that line W. Main Street between Turlock and Patterson is the Farmers’ Den. Just as the name implies, the restaurant is a gathering place for the area’s farmers and ranchers — and on weekends also for those traveling to Interstate 5 or State Route 156. The building that now houses the Farmers’ Den has been on the corner of W. Main and Crows Landing Road since the 1930s, when it was a gas station and market named McCart’s.
