    a small tree in the middle of a garden
    Scott W.

    Picked up a 24" box Reed avocado a few days ago. Tree was delivered and installed by the crew. They called me when they said, they showed up when they said and all I can say is it was cheaper than a few other nurseries I contacted by quite a bit. I routinely go here for my trees and saw a few exotic trees with fruit on them that surprised me. Always my go to nursery.

    Rare avocados varieties (from right to left): Kona Sharwil, Jan Boyce and Lamb Hass in 5 gallon containers.

    I was looking for rare heirloom avocado varieties and Atkins is one of the only places that sells trees other than hass, fuerte and the usual suspects. Jan Boyce is considered the top tasting avocado in california, while kona sharwil is from hawaii and tastes incredible. They have many more varieties -- Hellen, Nimlioh, Daily 11 (gets up to 5lbs!), Queen and more -- so if you're into exotic fruit trees and want to support keeping heirloom varieties alive, hit up Atkins. Right now, 5 gallon trees are $25, which is great considering how rare these varieties are. They also carry cherimoya, mango, dragon fruit and many other kinds of rare fruit trees. The setting isn't as fancy as some nurseries or garden centers, but you're there for the trees, not the ambiance. And they also sell fruit -- I got 6 delicious Pinkterton avocados for $5.

    Let me say that this will be my go to nursery moving forward. When looking for different avocado varieties than you can find at the other nurseries this is definitely worth the trip. Called to see what 5 and 15 gallon trees they had. Specifically looking for a Kona Sharwil and Sir Prize in 15 gallons to compliment my Gwen I purchased at a different nursery. Scored on the 5 gallon Reed as well. Cannot be happier with the excellent customer service from on the phone to Junior helping me out when I arrived. I cannot wait to come back and see what trees you will have in the future.

    I came back for more! I called ahead to make sure they had a Reed, Kona Sharwill & Daily 11 before heading out to the nursery. They had them all and both the Queen and Daily 11 are flowering and holding baby fruit already in less than a years time in the ground. Awesome!

The products are fresh, all natural, and of course, locally grown. The staff was helpful, and I learned they don't use harmful chemical pesticides or fertilizers, which is a huge plus. The farm stand is a nice size, shaded from the sun, with beautiful views of the Fallbrook hills. Peaceful too! I purchased a few jars of fresh honey and a sourdough loaf, the honey on toasted sourdough was a delicious treat. I also picked up some crisp green beans. They had a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables, all of which looked fresh and beautifully grown. I'll be back when I need more fruits and vegetables. They now offer a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) subscription too. I'm looking forward to trying one, since I already get a CSA box from a nearby farm. They offer both delivery and pick-up options. If you appreciate fresh produce, definitely make a stop!

We came here to pick up a couple avocado trees. The healthiest avocado trees I have ever seen in 3.5 gallon sleeves. We could get our grocery shopping done while having avocado trees back home. The best of both worlds! It's so well worth a drive. Highly recommended!!!

They require payment in advance, but the system doesn't work properly. I tried booking for 3 people and it only charged for 1. I tried again for 2 people, and it still only charged for 1. It's confusing and unreliable. If you're going to require paid reservations--especially for school groups--please make sure your system works correctly. On top of that, parking is a nightmare. There aren't enough spots, which makes the whole process even more stressful when you're trying to coordinate with a school group and young kids.

I noticed person were able to go in without reservations at the check in counter but maybe that was for slow time slots. Farm offers two sizes but we opted for the large tubs. They tell you how much to fill without over filling aka being charged extra. People were mad filling but I guess it's a gamble. We only stayed for about 45 min but time slots were for 1.5 hours. No shade so be sure to bring a hat and water. Small food truck offering drink and snacks. Small sundries shop as well. I didn't see any restroom facilities and it's not a major exit off the freeway so come prepared.

I didn't see Jayme's review when I got my bag, so I am not sure if I did get 25 avocados or 14... Many of the avocados were dry. Well these were prob grown in their backyard, and its tourists like me who pull over.. what do you expect right? Still $5 for a bag of them.. not bad. Would I stop again? Probably not. 4 stars for their great "marketing" skills of luring in peeps like me

    While driving down on highway 76, on our way to Pala Casino, I noticed a lot of produce stands…read more Many of them advertised avocados at amazing prices. Right across from Pala Casino next to Mis Cuartes Taco Shop was a sign that read "25 Avocados for $5". What a deal! However, upon arrival we realized why it was so cheap. Although the avocados were small that still beats any market price. They were also selling 10 small avocados for $2 a bag. You could buy larger ones at a larger price, which was slightly cheaper than Trader Joe's. The cashier was very helpful and showed us the different sizes and explained the prices, which was all clearly marked. So we grabbed the 25 avocado bag and happily paid $5. HOWEVER, after we go home we discovered there was only 14! Really?! How do you make up a bag of 14 when you were selling them in multiples of 10 or 25?! All the bags were the same size so it's not like the one we picked was smaller than the remaining bags. Not sure if this is a common practice of the store, but be cautious hence the low rating! I can't give them one star because the price indicated on their sign "25 Avocados for $5" is a great deal, but that's only if you get 25 avocados.
