Apricot Hill Fruit & Nut Stand

Love this little gem! We were looking for some organic honey and found this place via Unilocal.Ended up getting pangos, dried apricots, nuts, banana chips, caramel corn and some other goodies! They have homemade honey with and without honeycomb. Some variety of fruit outside but we didn’t get any. Everything is locally grown, so aka healthy and organic. They also have samples of all the nuts and dried fruit so you can try it before you buy it ;). Will be back! Come for Honey!

Best nuts and fruit in town. I was living there for a year on a job in town. No better place and the guy who owns it is the best!

Strawberries, water melon, oranges, roasted peanuts and honey were part of our shopping basket. If u want to make a picnic out of your road trip or simply want to buy fresh fruits to support local farming here is a stop on I5 you shouldn’t miss.
There are picnic tables at the back and a portable potty too.

Picked up some jalapeño pistachios

I’ve passed by this fruit & nut stand several times on my way to/​from Merced, but today was my last drive, so I decided to make the stop. This stand actually has a street (Hilldale Ave) that you can turn into and use to get back onto 152 without making all the high-​speed cars mad.
Unlike most fruit stands I’ve been to, this stand has more than 5 things to offer. The produce is reasonably priced, but the nuts are what I went inside for. I was pleasantly surprised to find all sorts of prepared nuts, from butter toffee almonds to garlic pistachios to Japanese peanuts and more. There were also a lot of dried fruits. It was almost like Casa de Fruta, but much cheaper! Compare $ 12.99/lb for Casa de Fruta’s butter toffee almonds to $ 6.99/lb for this stand’s. I came out with a pound each of butter toffee almonds, honey and cinnamon roasted almonds, and Japanese peanuts for $ 17.
Next time I drive Pacheco Pass Highway, I’m definitely making another stop here.
