All Modesto high schools now offer the hands-on educational experience of raising livestock and tending to crops at an agricultural site. “This space represents a significant investment in our students and their futures,” Modesto High principal Phuc Pham-Goulart said during her speech at a ribbon-cutting. “This facility offers authentic real-world experiences that reflect the agricultural richness of our region.” According to district spokesperson Linda Mumma Solorio, this project has been five years in the making. Modesto High has offered agricultural education for decades and even helped students find places to home the animals they were raising for the Stanislaus County Fair. The farm – equipped with pens for goats, sheep, pigs, cows and chickens and even rooms to use for birthing – will allow students to raise their animals at a district site. ✍️ 📷 Atmika Iyerhttps://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/6a8ddd8af629ed11a03f2567_1787699870979.mp42026-08-25T23:17:51.334Znohttps://modbee.begenuin.com/video/the-new-span-will-have-four-motor-vehicle-lanes2026-08-25https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/6a8ddd8aa1f408ce997889cf_1787699866199.pngThe Modesto BeeThe new span will have four motor-vehicle lanes and better bike and pedestrian access to Tuolumne River Regional Park.https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/6a8ddd8aa1f408ce997889cf_1787699866199.mp42026-08-25T23:17:46.633Znohttps://modbee.begenuin.com/video/matt-and-sarah-beekman-run-beekmans-bee-feed-in2026-08-25https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/6a8ddd8ad960c0953fa33607_1787699860670.pngThe Modesto BeeMatt and Sarah Beekman run Beekman’s Bee Feed in Hughson, supplying bee feed, queens and pollination services to support Central Valley almond orchards.

It was originally introduced in 1923, three years after the ratification of the 19th Amendment.

Immigration lawyer Patrick Kolasinski, who’s representing Patterson resident Hernandez and his family, held a news conference at his Modesto office Wednesday morning. The attorney said neither he nor Hernandez’s fiancee — who joined Kolasinski at the conference and was identified only as Cindy — has been allowed to talk with the man. Hernandez was taken to Doctors Medical Center in Modesto on Tuesday for treatment, and the only report given on his condition is that he’s “stable.” To read more, check out sacbee.com or modbee.com. ✍️: Kathleen Quinn 📸: Hector Amezcua #ice #immigration #law #attorney #california #modesto #shootinghttps://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/6a8ddee996030400ea90097e_1787698885258.mp42026-08-25T23:01:26.928Znohttps://modbee.begenuin.com/video/domestic-wells-in-stanislaus-county-are-more2026-08-25https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/6a8ddd9fa9b320bd5ff05d34_1787698885249.pngThe Modesto BeeDomestic wells in Stanislaus County are more likely than not to contain unsafe drinking water according to testing records reviewed by The Bee.

As a trustee, she is a part of the negotiations process. She also decided to not run again once her term ends this year. “I am no longer going to deal with the MTA … or all of the California teachers unions and their tactics,” Daly said in an interview with The Bee. “They’re not concerned about the students.

Peter Nguyen founded Banh Mi Boys as a small restaurant attached to a New Orleans gas station in 2015, according to a TikTok video he posted introducing himself to the Modesto community. His concept is to blend traditional Vietnamese flavors with a New Orleans classic — the po’ boy. “We take a nontraditional approach,” Nguyen says in the video. “I see a lot of people asking if this is authentic banh mi. It’s very subjective ... This banh mi is authentic to me.

Efforts to rename the park were prompted by a years-long New York Times investigation that accused Chavez of sexually abusing children and raping his United Farm Workers co-founder and civil rights icon, Dolores Huerta. The city then created a form to collect input from the community, which garnered 474 responses. The top 10 names were forwarded to the Culture Commission, who finalized the three options for consideration. ✍🏼 Julietta Bisharyan 📸 Andy Alfarohttps://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/6a8ccbba06746ba4065a9dd9_1787672531180.mp42026-08-25T15:42:11.623Znohttps://modbee.begenuin.com/video/the-well-liked-caribbean-restaurant-serves-oxtail2026-08-25https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/6a8ccbbb2373be1c0f819493_1787672514989.pngThe Modesto BeeThe well-liked Caribbean restaurant serves oxtail, jerk chicken, curry goat and more on Yosemite Boulevard in Modesto, Calif.

A new studio in Modesto specializes in this sensory experience by offering light touch body and scalp scratching. #asmr #modesto #209 #massage 🔗 Read more at the link in bio. ✍🏼 Dominique Williams 📸 Dominique Williams & Andy Alfarohttps://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/6a8ccbbb5defb61b8e5dddcb_1787672504231.mp42026-08-25T15:41:44.881Znohttps://modbee.begenuin.com/video/two-new-businesses-whichcraft-taproom-sovannas2026-08-25https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/6a8ccbbb35d325c91703dd88_1787672482892.pngThe Modesto BeeTwo new businesses, WhichCraft Taproom & Sovanna’s Donuts open in downtown Gustine, California.

The activity has prompted increased enforcement, safety education and discussions about potential policy changes. Police officials in Modesto, Ceres, Turlock and other communities in the county told The Bee they have seen a rise in unsafe riding behavior in recent years, with many of the incidents involving juveniles. Common complaints include riders running stop signs and red lights, riding against traffic, weaving among vehicles, performing wheelies, riding without helmets and operating high-powered electric motorcycles commonly mistaken for e-bikes. 🔗 Read more at the link in bio. ✍️ Dean J.

As you may have previously read, Thaiburi has been my go-to spot since it opened in late 2024. But since Golden Spoon Thai opened in Modesto, my time has been split between the two. I feel morally decent about cheating on one of my favorite restaurants because they are not exactly the same. Golden Spoon Thai’s menu is more focused on authentic Thai street food. #modesto #209 #thai #food #foodreviews 🔗 Read more at the link in bio.https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/6a8ccbbd503836ca74bde8f7_1787672387099.mp42026-08-25T15:39:47.858Znohttps://modbee.begenuin.com/video/headline-20-year-old-spent-years-volunteering-in2026-08-25https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/6a8ccbbdb89341ea86095b18_1787672380086.pngThe Modesto BeeHeadline: 20-year-old spent years volunteering in Stanislaus County, now faces murder charge Story: Zachariah Knobel was 7 years old when he started a food drive with his 4-year-old sister.

Aaron Valencia, founder of real estate investment firm Royal Equity Fund, has taken on a personal project that is a bit too spectacular to put into words — and I’m saying that as a writer. He’s spent what he describes as “a lot of millions” of dollars to convert 87-year-old grain silos into a coffee shop, bar, restaurant, event space and a personal sanctuary. “It’s not just the food or the coffee shop,” Valencia said while giving me a tour. “There’s more to it; there’s so much more to it.” 🔗 Read more at the link in bio. #modesto #209 #foodie #restaurant #agriculturehttps://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/6a8ccbc03b68d613b19d45ed_1787672236460.mp42026-08-25T15:37:17.034Znohttps://modbee.begenuin.com/video/scott-peterson-will-learn-if-he-will-get-a-new2026-08-25https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/6a8ccbc0a845212756158d81_1787672224163.pngThe Modesto BeeScott Peterson will learn if he will get a new trial within 90 days of Thursday’s hearing. #scottpeterson #modesto #california #lacipeterson #newtrial #truecrimehttps://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/6a8ccbc0a845212756158d81_1787672224163.mp42026-08-25T15:37:04.651Znohttps://modbee.begenuin.com/video/alchemist-cafe-on-e-street-serves-handcrafted2026-08-25https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/6a8ccbc01924ce892f5f58ce_1787672201699.pngThe Modesto BeeAlchemist Cafe on E Street serves handcrafted, mocktails, kava drinks and smoothies with vegan and gluten-free options.https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/6a8ccbc01924ce892f5f58ce_1787672201699.mp42026-08-25T15:36:42.101Znohttps://modbee.begenuin.com/video/mural-alley-improvements-will-include-in-ground2026-08-25https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/6a8ccbc0ba599f317607b01d_1787672193924.pngThe Modesto BeeMural Alley improvements will include in-ground lighting, updated paving.https://media.begenuin.com/temp_video/6a8ccbc0ba599f317607b01d_1787672193924.mp42026-08-25T15:36:34.298Znohttps://modbee.begenuin.com/video/construction-on-seventh-street-village-has2026-08-25https://media.begenuin.com/uploads/thumbnails/6a8ccbc0468ca0fe59f1e105_1787672179821.pngThe Modesto BeeConstruction on Seventh Street Village has started in Modesto.
