“I love this place! They always have great, fresh fruits, jellies, nuts to sell. Loved their "u pick" cherries days when they have those days available.”
“Cute fruit stand with local goods, their dried apricots were so tasty! They sold a bunch of dried fruit options, also an assortment of fresh fruits and veggies. They also had gift baskets with oils and vinegars with snacks.”
“Very nice roadside stop location along the 152/Pacheco Pass Hwy. We only needed to use the restrooms, which were clean and well stocked. There's an adjoining parkette with trains and animals which is very cool for the kiddies. The store has a large selection of fruits and produce, nuts, and all kinds of other things. There's also the Casa de Restaurant if you want a full meal. Definitely worth the stop if you're travelling through the area.”

890 Westside Rd, Hollister“Patty and Gary have a huge variety of products to choose from. Growing up and as an adult my favorite was always the dried slabs. These are the ripest apricots and when dried are very sweet. Their trail mix is also delicious. You can't go wrong with anything there. Ask to sample something too.”

10011 Pacheco Pass Hwy, Hollister“I pass by this place every time I go to my buddies house, and his family took me here on the way back from a trip to Anaheim. I ate some of the best prime rib I've had in a while, then checked out their various stores and stared at a pond full of turtles. Their actual restaurant reminds me of this old diner I used to go to called Carrows. I miss that place. The server was friendly and nice, talking to us like we were long time family. It was a pretty standard vibe in there, just like the late night diner vibe.I totally wanna go again. Casa de Fruta holds the GOAT positions of "Best Roadside Attraction" and "Best Prime Rib". Congrats!!!”
“All things apricot can be had here. The frozen apricot slushy was delish, and the chocolate dipped apricots were so addictive. We were road tripping with limited space for gifts or I would have bought out their supply to bring home. Very cool find.”
