As we arrived, they had fresh cut melons to sample- they were so delicious and fresh! They had just picked ripe figs, and had some tiny ones of a different variety. They tasted like candy! Yum! I purchased the figs of course, fresh baby purple carrots with the stems attached like you see in the old cartons! I got fresh okra, zucchini, other squashes, cantalope, pistachios, bread and Licon Dairy's flavored cheeses We visited another little boutique with nice imported Mexican dishes and clothing. Very nicely set up. There is a quaint coffee shop in the property, but I'm saving that for our next trip, We walked across the street to "Wine Down" for lunch and a glass of wine . I will posted that separately! Oh for a wonderful day!

The shop sells cheese and other local foods (tortillas, salsa, cookies) but no milk. There is soda and water for sale as well. The restaurant is only open limited days (Thur-Sun), so we didn't check it out. It's a bit dusty and rustic, as you would expect for a farm! Would recommend and return, but this is not a "touristy" place, it's a working farm.

This is the first time we go to this event. We frequent the Ramirez pecan farm often. My mom had…read moreher own pecans trees so we never really needed to buy any pecans. She passed away last year and this was the first year we did not have pecans from her garden. We went to this event in memory of her and we were overwhelmed with the quantity of pecans we were able to pick in a short time. We picked over 10 pounds in a 10 by 10 ft.² area. We eventually had to stop because we were becoming obsessed with picking so many pecans. My mom used to love their oatmeal raisin pecan cookies and I got some. They had given us the recipe at some point, which I lost. And I'm sorry about that. It's a family business, and I love being able to visit and support this local business. I love my El Paso!

Spontaneous meetup alert! Today, we had an amazing time at Wonderfruit Pomegranate Farm in Socorro,…read moreTexas with the De La Story boys. We missed you, Exploring Paso! This charming farm is nestled past the freeway, amidst the sprawling housing developments. It's truly heartwarming to witness this little farm standing tall in the face of rapid development. Patricia and her husband have been nurturing this farm for over 7 years. Her husband hails from Sinaloa and boasts impressive agricultural knowledge. A few years ago, Patricia transitioned to cultivating pomegranates due to their resilience to drought. Did you know that pomegranate trees are self-pollinating? That means you don't need separate male and female trees. Wonderfruit boasts around 700 pomegranate trees and even has a fantastic horse riding school. By the way, their riding school is a national championship school, especially for levels two and three. Besides pomegranates, they also have quarter horses and other magnificent steeds, as they operate as a breeding farm too. Being on the farm takes you on a journey of appreciation for the countryside. The tranquil and pristine surroundings transport you, despite the ongoing development in the area. Small farms like Wonderfruit deserve our unwavering support. To share the wonder of their exceptional fruit, they organize fabulous festivals. I first heard about their festival when I arrived in El Paso, but alas, it was canceled due to COVID. But guess what? The festival is making a grand comeback this year, and it's going to be bigger and better than ever! Imagine tons of free activities for the kids, delightful food trucks, a farm-to-table event, arts and crafts, games, thrilling horse rides, and more. Since it's a small farm, they'll be hosting the festival right at their house. Their aim is to unite the community and showcase their fruit, which has been carefully chosen and certified by the USDA for optimal ripeness. Patricia shared her fascinating knowledge about picking pomegranates. To determine if a pomegranate is ripe, look at the shape on the bottom. Circular means it's not quite ready, but if it's a hexagon or square shape, the juicy arils (seed sacs) are ripe and ready to be savored. Picking pomegranates is a delightful experience, and Patricia also demonstrated how to extract the fruit. Of course, my favorite part was indulging in the delicious pomegranate seeds. They also press the pomegranates to create fresh juice, which is simply fantastic. Pro tip: use scissors/shears to cut the stem, leaving a little attached to the fruit, and your pomegranates can last up to 3 months in the fridge. And here's a fun fact: you can use every part of the pomegranate, including the peel, which they dehydrate to make a tasty tea. Did you know that pomegranates are considered superfruits? They're bursting with antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C. Throughout history, pomegranates have been cherished for their medicinal properties, and now they're gaining recognition as a superfood in North America. The powerful antioxidants in pomegranate seeds, called polyphenols, are believed to promote heart health and offer anti-cancer benefits. I've had the pleasure of savoring countless pomegranates since one of my exes is Persian, and they incorporate the fruit in so many creative ways, including stews. Right here in El Paso, I was fortunate enough to try Chiles en Nogada, a delightful dish featuring pomegranates. We picked up a bunch of pomegranates from Wonderfruit, and I can't wait to share them with friends and family. It fills me with pride to have such incredible fruit and produce available in a region often deemed an arid desert. Wonderfruit Farm is defying all expectations! -TODOELPASO
