Merced Fruit Barn is an adorable and lively place that offers more than just a typical fruit stand. This clean and well-maintained establishment features a beautiful backyard with picnic tables, free-range chickens, and a mini-zoo with various animals such as parrots, turtles, and goats. Inside, visitors can enjoy a deli, an ice cream booth, a coffee station, and a souvenir shop, in addition to the local fruits, nuts, and jams. The staff is described as very friendly, and the reviews mention the delicious made-to-order sub sandwiches. While the majority of the reviews are positive, one reviewer expressed concern about the state of some of the parrots, particularly the African Grey Joey and the cockatoo, who appeared to be suffering in the heat and lacking fresh, clean water. Overall, Merced Fruit Barn is a hidden gem that provides a fun and enjoyable experience for visitors, with its diverse offerings and friendly atmosphere.
I stopped by on my way back from Yosemite National Park. This is a shop full of lively parrots. There are many other animals too. It's like a mini zoo. I bought almonds and pistachios here and have been tasting them since returning to Japan. It was a fun place.

Cute shop with amazing decoration. Heard they have a mini zoo in the back with Peacock, turtles, goat, chickens etc in the back but didn't have time to check it out.
In the front of the shop are 2 colorful parrots and 1 white parakeet(?) greeting guests.
