Hey there! Looks like you might be new around here. Welcome to Tulare County!

Being a local here means embracing small-town charm, deep agricultural roots, and a community that truly looks out for one another. We’re perfectly positioned between mountains, beaches, LA, SF, and centered right at home with national parks, hiking trails, local shops, and great restaurants.

Each city: Tulare, Visalia, Exeter, Porterville, Farmersville, Three Rivers, and the communities in between has its own unique rhythm. What connects us all is a shared pride in living in one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world.

Life moves a little slower here, and we like it that way. We take time watching sunsets over open fields, enjoy food grown close to home, and are friendly neighbors who still wave, life is good here.

I know from experience how exciting and overwhelming a move can be. It takes time to settle into your home, find the services you need, discover your favorite local spots, and begin building new routines. That’s exactly why BeLocal Tulare County was created, to make that transition smoother, easier, and more enjoyable by sharing true long-time local insights on all the people, places, and experiences our region has to offer. 

Inside this guide, you’ll find hyper-local recommendations from residents who know the area best. You’ll also discover many of our area’s best locally owned businesses. These businesses don’t just provide exceptional service, they invest in the community, support local families, and help keep Tulare County thriving. I encourage you to give them the opportunity to earn your business. Supporting local means supporting the heartbeat of our community.

 

So enjoy this guide. Get out there, explore Tulare County, and discover all the incredible things around you. And if you ever have questions about this guide, want to recommend a great local business, or need additional help settling into your new home, I’d love to hear from you.
