    Entrance to store

    Wow what an incredible place. I highly recommend this family operated farm. Incredible views and the mandarin milkshakes are incredible.... Reminds of Orange Julius. Friendly staff, local honey, james and vinegars and mandarin candles. Fire pit was cozy. Nice parking area as well. I highly recommend this farm.

    Yay! They are open!!!

    As I was driving down I noticed the stand was open, so had to stop on my way back home!!! This time I didn't do my usual stop at Machado, (last trip I I got the apple pie, and bag of Fuji apples.. still snacking on them! Since we can't grow a mandarin tree, this is the next best! A 10lb. Bag for $15.00 they are smaller this year, but I'm sure it can't be helped. A lot of other customers were stopping too. I'm sad we won't be able to make the Mandarin festival !

    The Newcastle Mandarin Ranch has really good Mandarins. They close for the year on Christmas Eve. If you haven't been there I would go.

    Like their namesake fruit, the Newcastle Mandarin Ranch manages to squeeze a great experience into a small package. Located about 7 minutes off Interstate 80 in Newcastle, the ranch is busy during the holidays picking and selling some of the freshest and tastiest mandarin oranges you will find. Their small store and barn are located at the end of the driveway. The store is really a small heated office to purchase oranges, fresh juice, and several mandarin food products including a tasty sweet and spicy orange sauce for dipping and cooking. On my visit, there was a cute outdoor fireplace to warm up combined with an even cuter orchard dog roaming around. Staff was friendly and happy to have guests even during the busy season. This location lacks some of the more flashy features typical of an Apple Hill orchard such as kids rides or crafts, but you can enjoy the sweeping mountain vistas and with some picnic tables in the orchards underneath the windmill. The Newcastle Mountain Ranch is a great stop for those heading to Lake Tahoe or beyond looking for a cute pit stop and excellent fruit.

    Blue Goose Produce is open the whole calendar year. It's located on Taylor Rd in downtown Loomis,…read moreso it's one of the most convenient locations to sample and buy seasonal Mandarin Oranges. As of 11/19/25, which is early season, you can buy a 4 lb bag for $10. While I was there, one farmer was sorting the oranges out by size. Apparently, the medium ones are the most popular. You could buy small ones for $1.50 per pound. Mandarins were attractive and juicy. Update: It's the sweetest and easiest to peel of the three different bags I bought on 11/19/25. Blue Goose Produce is associated with Westview Growers. If I remember correctly, there are 1500 mandarin orange trees in their orchards, so you can buy mandarins there until April! Farmers are friendly and informative to chat with. In October 2025, I believe I spoke with the owner Mark about the Blue Goose decor. One antiquities specialist soon found him a large metallic goose after he requested it. He painted it dark blue himself. This goose gets outfit changes to match the holiday! His family has been collecting blue goose decor over many years, which you can find throughout the store. I learned that a female goose can just be called a goose. A male goose is a gander, and Gander Taphouse is in the same plaza. Yesterday I learned that mandarin oranges taste better a day or longer after they have been picked. It takes time for them to sweeten. You can find a variety of local farm goods here, such as honey, scented candles, Earth & Vine products, local Newcastle Mandarin Ranch products, and Petaluma Creamery cheeses. You can buy pies here. I might call ahead to ask about available flavors. You can find limited produce here. I've bought a large tomato, finger grapes, and a ruby grapefruit here. Fuyu and Hachiya Persimmons are currently in season and look beautiful. Prices resemble that of a farmers market. If you like to support local farms, please stop by Blue Goose Produce.

Although, it was a bit of a drive for us coming from Sacramento/Elk Grove we were able to maximize our time there. The strawberry farm is family owned and located not too far from other businesses in the area if you wanted to find something to eat or find somewhere else to hang out afterwards. There was a food truck, Laopino, that had delicious lumpias, music, a bubble machine, plus a few games and activities to keep the little ones occupied, and shaded tables to enjoy your fresh harvests. :) Tickets are only available online. Weekend tickets are released on Thursdays at 7 pm. When choosing our date and time it shows we only had an hour to pick but really we got to take our time and enjoy our morning. I feel they show you have a one hour slot to help stagger guests in. I love how they had a little gift shop set up, another tent with fresh flowers, drinks, and beautiful cookies at the register to purchase. The strawberry fields had plenty to choose from. We saw lots of bright red ones varying from all sizes. The staff also informed us there were 6 types of strawberries being grown! My kids enjoyed only for a short while and mainly wanted to stay in the kid area. There are also plenty of photo ops on the farm too! We would absolutely return in the future. Highly recommend!

You feel as if you've been transported into the 1940s where life was simpler and what was grown on the farm provided food for your family, neighbors and friends. Old buildings, packing sheds and farm vehicles gives you a piece of old Americana that is slowly disappearing today. The vintage atmosphere and the beautiful hills surrounding you gives you a sense of calm and a feeling of what a farm was like back in the day. You cannot make this stuff up. This is the way it was and still is today. The history behind this place is amazing! Four generations have kept this 30-acre fruit farm alive. Even after the Great Depression and Internment camps, they rolled up their sleeves and kept farming. Much of the rootstock was brought from Japan. There are some trees that date back possibly 150 years. This farm is the real deal! The Mandarins are sweet and juicy. They have several varieties, including Zishan, Okitsu Wase, Page, Unshiu, and the most popular, Owari Satsuma. You can sample them to see which ones you like the best. The family is very picky about the quality of fruit that they sell. They pick fruit daily and everything in the fruit stand has been freshly-picked either that day or the day before. Prices are reasonable, and even lower prices for seconds, which are still great. And it's self-service; can you believe it! The "Honor System". Wow!
