As crazy as it may sound, I took my family on a day trip from Los Angeles to get some farm-fresh…read morepeaches choosing not to visit any of the Southern California farms because I wanted to get to the REAL source of the MOST delicious fruit - FRESNO! I selected Friesen Farm because of their informative website and helpfulness over the phone. Coming from a long ways, I was unsure if they would have any peaches left so I was very glad to reserve an order by phone. When I arrived 4 hours later (cell signal was solid the entire way so you can't get lost), a modest crowd was there and the Friesen team was hard at work fulfilling their orders. I saw them pack boxes of nectarines, peaches, and plums by hand (COVID precautions prevented us customers from selecting our own). While waiting, I saw my order (3 bags) were ready for pick up, but the irresistible smell of their fruit compelled me to purchase more (I had to make the 250 mile drive worthwhile, right?). The associate (owner?) who was helping me assured me that it was no trouble to return all the fruit from my previous order and pack the boxes I wanted to take home. While packing my boxes, we engaged in some small talk and she convinced me that I must return late February to see the blossoms. By the look in her eye, and the excitement in her voice I could tell that it was a must-see spectacle so I hope she remembers me when I come back in 2021! But something makes me think I will be back before then to get more fruit here. Now the fruit is indescribably delicious! I could use all the superlatives to describe how tasty they are, but it's exactly like when you say, "The pictures don't do it justice; you just have to be there to believe it." when sharing your vacation photos. They are juicy, fragrant, and sweet as candy. As she packed my boxes, she made sure there was a fair mixture of ready-to-eat fruit and some that would ripen in 2-4 days. That was such a thoughtful gesture that made me feel respected. It should be noted that none of the fruit I purchased were organic. Not sure if they offer any, but that might be something that matters to you. Also, I did not see any restrooms but they could be available. The parking lot was small (maybe 4-6 cars), and there's no gift shop or attractions here: You're here for the fruit. Lastly, I must say that their prices are VERY fair. If I was a Fresno or Tulare County resident, I would be a regular customer because I couldn't imagine paying more for less quality fruit from the supermarkets. I'm not comfortable sharing their prices here in this review because it may be market-dependent (and they don't list them on their website), so contact them and don't be surprised if you buy more than what you planning to. We all gotta support our local farmers!

Looking for a great place to get some tree ripened fruit?? This is it!! Located in Kingsburg…read more Definitely some of the best tree fruit around and at a great price. They have peaches, nectarines, plums, plots, and apricots. They have different varieties depending on what is in season. Call or check out their website to see what is available. This is definitely a place to pick up some fresh fruit. And I'd even say it's worth a drive to get some. If you are not close.

A buddy of mine had participated in the program for about 14 years. Crazy! I don't know the fine details about the adopt a tree program, but if you're interested, you totally should look into it or do it. The fruit here is just absolutely amazing. It's used in lots of popular restaurants in the Bay Area and Los Angeles. Also, the head editor (Bill Addison) of LA Times food was asked what was his favorite fruit was and he referenced this farm and its stone fruit. I'm actually planning on going to a pie shop that uses fruit this Friday for a special event. and Los Angeles. I'm actually planning on going to a pie shop that uses their fruit this Friday for a special event. By now the routine is pretty simple and straightforward for me. There's a meet and greet in the morning with some instructions for some of the newer people. The you got to harvest your trees before it gets too hot outside. My friend has multiple trees hence me coming out to help every year for the last three years. Another fun experience, I'll be at exhausting. There was a fun light brunch in the middle of it and there was a beer tasting this time around with beers that use the fruit in their process.

They have a great selection of trail mix, dried fruit, nuts, fresh fruit, veggies, and honey. On my last visit, I had a wonderful experience with a helpful man who tried to offer me several fruit samples. I felt really bad because I was fasting and couldn't eat them, but I did end up buying some peaches and apples for later. During my current visit, a kind woman was working. I purchased some dried fruit, trail mix, mandarins, and the best red pear I've ever had. The pear was so juicy, sweet, and fresh tasting, it was such a delight! I agree with another review that some of the fruits were past their prime, but I don't think that takes away from the charm of this fruit stand. As someone who doesn't usually carry cash, the only downside for me is the cash-only nature of the business. However, I might be spoiled by my local farmer's market accepting Tap & Pay and Venmo. I love supporting local businesses, especially when the service is so friendly, so I will always stop here when I'm in town.

This year, with the mass black-out, Raphio Chocolate has made it easy for me to skip the big box and chain stores and really get some nice treats to share with the people I love, and the people who deserve gratitude.

They also have these adorable vials of hot cocoa mix for 2...perfect stocking stuffers or stand-alone gifts. I am really glad that Raphio made it through the pandemic and hopefully is doing well. On the southwest corner of Barstow and First Streets in Fresno, California and with an online store available if you're not in the area, you can't go wrong with supporting a local business that makes their chocolate from SCRATCH (they roast and process their own beans!), and they do an amazing job of it! 10 stars if Yelp would let me!
