This farm is one of the few places that sells 100% pure pistachio paste in the bay area ($24). They are at the Palo Alto (Cal Ave) and Campbell farmers markets on Sunday. There is an problem: The jars of nut better are under-weighted, by up to 15%, and it varies from jar to jar. I recommend bringing a scale to weigh the jars, and buy the heaviest jar. If you get stuck with an under-weight jar, ask for a discount. The pistachio butter jar says 341 grams, but the last jar I bought was only 292 grams. It's cheaper to buy Fiddyment Farms pistachio paste on Amazon. read more

For those of you looking to get your fix on fresh, locally grown fruits, veggies, and nuts, you just may want to go off the beaten path and check out "Winters Fruit Tree". For those of you that don't know, Winters is a smaller farm town located in a more rural part of Yolo County. It lies east of Lake Berryessa, north of Vacaville, and west of Davis as its town is adjacent to the Putah Creek. Located directly on Grant Ave (Hwy 128), this fruit stand is a standalone business with no other neighboring businesses in the area. They offer a small parking lot; however it is unpaved and has loose gravel directly outside. Regular business hours are 11am-5pm Wednesday through Monday as they are closed on Tuesday. I had the opportunity coming here as I was passing through and decided to stock up on some fresh fruit. I've got to say that the fruit selection here was quite impressive as they had a generous amount of peaches, oranges, nectarines, apples, lemons, limes, grapefruit, and squash. There was also an abundance of walnuts, cashews, almonds, dates, and figs as well as numerous jars of honey (in all flavors), almond/oat/pistachio butters, olives, and olive oil. During my visit which was during the morning of Saturday 6/17/2023 at around 11:30am, I ended up getting several spring snow-white peaches, honey crisp apples, and a jar of almond butter to take home with me. The three ladies working behind the table were in an upbeat mood that were very friendly during my short visit. Considering this place started over 100 years ago in the 1920's (in Sunnyvale, CA), they have come a very long way while mastering the art of growing only the freshest fruits from their fields. All in all, "Winters Fruit Tree" scores a unanimous five-star rating from me as the selection, freshness of the fruit, reasonable prices, and above average customer service all scored high marks in my book. So if you're ever passing through the Winters area, go check them out! read more

Winters Fruit Tree participated this weekend at the Outer Sunset Farmers Market. Winters had an extensive variety of Nut Mixes and prepared Jars. Per pound smoked & flavored nuts, plus jams, and nut butters were offered, the vendor reminds me of the hot nut vendors that used to populate the malls when I grew up. 4th & 5th Generation Farm with a focus on dried fruits. read more

Got nuts? And jams and butters... Well, here's where to find them, especially their huge variety of almonds! In walking the Saturday Ferry Farmers' Market in late January, I saw this new stand in the very back portion of the market. Their stand was pretty large, three tables, and lined with the above mentioned items. It took me a while to study before I decided to buy a couple of items, one for a friend and the other for myself. I bought a half pound of the garlic onion almonds. I started munching on them as I hunkered down and started binge watching Bling Empire.... I know, no comment. Let's just say, between the roll-your-eyes drama, I munched away until almost half of my bag was gone. The garlic and onion flavors stood out without being overly salty where I was reaching for a glass of water to rinse my mouth. I have not spoken to my friend about her wasabi flavored almonds yet. A week later, I bought another pound of the garlic onion as well as a half pound of barbecue pistachios (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=0q2kUEnT8wJCdOhfu88N2Q&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). These were addictive as I couldn't stop eating them... you know, like when you're watching a really good movie or sporting event. This does have a spicy tingly aftertaste so, if you are spice sensitive, you might consider another flavor. The trick, like eating shrimp, is sucking the shells to enjoy the flavors. Will be back to try other flavors. I do recommend being careful if you are watching your salt intake for the flavored nuts with shells or have a beverage to balance the flavors. read more

To say I was excited to visit would be an understatement. I have been eating the pistachios from Winters Fruit Tree for over a year now. The nuts were shipped from a person who lives there. It always seemed like the new flavor they shipped was better than the last. I've had cheddar and onion, chile lemon, sea salt and lime, and at least two or three other flavors. And finally I was there. And the selection was awesome. And there were things I'd never had. So many things. And I had to remind myself, I had a limit in my luggage. So I bought a few to take home, AND a few to eat on my vacation. When we arrived in Winters on a Sunday, we realized that the fruit tree stand would be closed the next couple days and we'd better head straight there. It was the last 40 minutes before they closed. I think maybe it had been a long day. They weren't very friendly. My only downside to the visit. I wish I had taken pictures but my hands were too full. read more

This good old fashion fruit stand has been around since 1968. That's over 50 years! Plus it is going on the 5th generation being family ran. How awesome is that?!? Totally awesome! The stand has grown to carry local produce, fruit, honey, nuts, eggs, canned olives, olive oil, preserves, almond butter, dried snack packs, and small succulents and plants. I'm sure I missed something. Anyway, all these goodies come from local farmers. Many of the items are organic! Loving the fresh organic and locally grown emphasis. The stand is right on Highway 128 in the town of Winters. All the prices are reasonable, some may say CHEAP! Just this past week, I went nuts over their walnuts in the shell. They were $2/lb. Ya! Plus they had ruby grapefruits for 50 cents and Red for $1, fresh and flavorful. They carry a huge variety of sealed packages of varying flavored nuts, dried fruit, candy, and mixes in different sizes. My faves are the 4oz sealed pack of Japanese style coated nuts for $1.50 and the 4oz pack of unshelled walnuts for $2.50. They were perfect snack size. If you enjoy a good olive... check out the huge variety of Penna brand 11 oz bottle of olives... Jalapeño, cheese stuffed, garlic,deli mix, black ripe, olivasecca (salted cured)... $5. Right now they also carry seasonal navels and mandarins, and a variety of winter squashes. The staff that work here is the greatest. They are friendly and knowledgeable. The place is not a fancy blinged out building nor is it a dumpy shed. Stop on by, check it out. #pennaolives #wintersfruittreestand read more

absolutely love this fruit stand, my family has been coming here long before I was born...it holds a really special place in my heart and I hope they'll be around for many years to come. I'd recommend trying any of the fresh local fruit especially the apricots and also the tiny strawberries that are in season right now. they also have super-fresh eggs and lots of other staples. if you are on the way to lake berryessa, I'd definitely recommend taking a moment to swing by and support this great local, small business. in terms of other things to be aware of they have great new social distancing measures in place right now (only 4 people allowed at a time in the fruit stand). also, if you stop by don't forget your face mask (mandatory in yolo county). read more

I went there 3 months ago but I am writing the review now . I was visiting a friend around that area and she took me here . I purchased few items to give them some business. It's a small cute store . Their items were mostly more expensive than farmers market in San Francisco. read more

If you're slightly mad about persimmons, you must come here. My personal favorites are the apple crisp fuyus. If you prefer the custardy texture of the hachiyas, (a fab partner with your morning yogurt), there are 2 varietals available. All priced at an unheard of $1. A pound, even less if you buy in bulk. Be sure to pick up some of the fall harvested pomegranates, as well. Then add in some of summer's last hurrah, super sweet, gold and red cherry tomatoes at $2.50 a basket. Best of all, every one of these items are grown locally with no spray! read more

First time stopping by while heading to Lake Berryessa. Everything is local. Wish we had more stores like this like the old days. It's a bit expensive (not more than Nugget or Whole Foods though), but everything is high quality. read more

Great farm stand!! Awesome variety of produce and always parking!! Staff is friendly and super helpful!!

I've been eating Winters Fruit Tree nuts for a few years now, as they are always at the farmers markets. Every flavor of almonds I've tried has been ridiculously delicious. That's why I decided to buy their almonds to use as wedding favors! Not only did they package the bulk orders ahead of time, but they gave me a discount on the orders. Great customer service along with delicious offerings makes them seriously wonderful. read more

Love their percimons and pluots. Good place to get squashes. Their fig bars are also tasty.
