It's an open…read moreair market, plenty of parking, lots of high-quality fresh fruits, a few unique fruits, they also have a large variety of different types of beef jerky from shark meat to camel meat!! the people that work there are super friendly. They even have some exotic items like ostrich eggs! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood. Sadly, when I got home, I noticed my $18 bag of camel jerky had a hole in it, so I couldn't eat that and I live 40 minutes away so unfortunately I didn't get to try that. Otherwise, the place is great!

I was craving a ice cream bar, specifically a fruit bar of sorts and what better than grabbing one from here?! It was the most delicious strawberry fruit bar I've ever had and I can't wait to grab another during the summer/whenever we are in the area again. They had quite the wide variety of fruit, vegetables, honey and jerky. I also grabbed a bag of persimmons on the way out and demolished that bag within a week. Service wasn't too bad and pretty quick in checking out. There was a 50 cents charge for using credit card, as cash is king. However I ended up not having enough (because I used it on something else) and ended up using card. Definitely will drop by again, just unsure when that will be!

They pretty much had 50% less apples than they did last year so they were trying very hard to get all these apples into our bags and home safely for our own apple cobbler and apple pie. We were able to fill up three bag bags of apples, small apples, but still very flavorful , Pippin and Jonathan's and some empires .. They do allow service dogs . Super fun activity however we were there on October 4 th Honestly, I think the season would probably be about done by now .. there's plenty to do and Julian. They have dirt parking. And crazy enough they have great music playing throughout the Orchard. We did a little Apple picking a little dancing

They estimate that the bag holds 6-7 lbs of apples. When we went they said there were 5 apple varieties but three of them were pretty picked through. This was the 4th day they were open for the season. It is a pretty small apple orchard. That being said, we were able to get a full bag although a lot of apples were small or ones that looked nice only turned out to have wormholes in them. Lots of tossed apples on the ground too. Parking is all in one area now which is better than previous years where there were multiple. Some food and drinks vendors right outside the entrance. They don't sell apple cider or apple cider donuts here sadly.

The produce is fresh, well packed so nothing gets smushed, and best of all forces me out of my meal rut and makes me excited to cook.

Ok ok, I know what you're going to say, how there's "fruit stand (West)" also down the street which I've been and continue to support but I've found that they only tend to have fruits/veggies when in season or not at all. Also- the West place is a bit too expensive for my taste so thus my excitement when I found this new little place! A couple of older Mexican women (maybe mom and daughter) were listening to the radio, giggling about what they were listening to, when I drove up. The younger of the women shared what they had for sale (also in season stuff) but I was only interested in the avocados. $5 a bag for smaller ones and $1 each for bigger avocados. Most were semi-ripe or hard so can last up to couple of weeks. I paid in cash- unsure they take cards. This looks like a family small owned business so my guess is cash only. But don't quote me on that. They also had fresh honey, cooked nopales in jars, dragon fruit, mangos, cherries and other stuff that I can't think of right now. Great prices! Organic? Probably not but all good with me! Not sure if this is connected to the nursery but it's in the same location. Go support local family farms!

Apparently everything is from local small farms around San Diego and possibly a few things owner made. A lot of items didn't have pricing which for me prevented me from buying more but I actually just went shopping elsewhere before stopping in so I would've bought more. The fruit and veggies are not all nice and shinny like at the grocery stores, these items look to be straight from a farm imo. Don't expect to find everything in perfect shape or that you don't have to look through the fruits or veggies and if you know, you know! Their items were a bit high but it's worth it when it comes to our struggling farmers!!! I'll buy more from them from here & out.

They consistently carry some of the best-quality produce currently available from San Diego and the surrounding areas, thoughtfully curated with real care. Misses are rare, and when something isn't right, they always make it right. What really sets this place apart is the knowledgeable team. They can tell you not just what something is, but where it's from, why it's special, and even how best to prepare it if it's new to you. They know which watermelon varietals are sweetest (and why), which tomatoes are best for different uses, and how to guide you toward the best choice of the day. We also appreciate the simplicity of the space. It's clear the focus is on quality produce rather than unnecessary overhead or décor that doesn't add to flavor or nutrition. We come in knowing our weekly staples, and we always look forward to discovering a surprise treat or seasonal treasure to add to the basket. We recently lived in Spain for a year and deeply miss the fruterías found on every corner, places that genuinely support daily health and well-being. In the U.S., truly good produce can be harder to find, with so much emphasis on mass production and appearance over flavor and nutrition. The Fruit Stand comes as close as we've found to that European produce experience. We're grateful this place exists and grateful for the care they put into what they offer. Thank you for being here--and we'll see you next week.
