MERCED FRUIT BARN

Great place has a cool little shop great place to pick up some cheese and dried fruits

Come to see the barn animal, peacock, and parrots! Then, shop around. The sandwiches are very tasty, the dried fruits and nuts are also very good, and the ice cream isn’t half bad either! And, seriously, cleanest bathrooms on the highway… hands down. I’m so glad we stopped in. I wish they had a few more organic choices but given they are more of a tourist stop, I get that they aren’t exactly catering to me and my crunchiness. But honestly, we will definitely keep stopping either on our way up or down the mountains:)

Cute little stop with great gifts like flavored honey, jams, yard art, chocolate covered fruits and nuts. Most refrigerated produce is $ 2.49/lb. Strawberries are already packaged and quite pricey. Deli with pasties and desserts. Recused birds and baby ducks were adorable.

Lots of local produce and products. Cute atmosphere. Outdoor picnic area with farm animal viewing/​petting/​feeding place. My kids really enjoyed running around and feeding the llama. Lunch left a little to be desired. Hot dogs were microwaved, not like our children minded much, but none the less. When I ordered I asked the staff what kind of lunch meat they had and I got attitude. I’m picky about lunch meat, so I like to see before I order. When I asked to see it she drug the lid off and said «this is the turkey.» She was clearly annoyed by my existence. I ended up settling for the roast beef. There was absolutely nothing special about this sandwich. At all. It pains me to say it, but Subway has better sandwiches. Honestly, eat lunch somewhere else, and get an ice cream here.

Although I enjoyed stopping here in the past, thanks for not posting on your website that you would closed for maintenance in January. We wasted an hour driving to your store. Very disappointing!

What a wonderful little stop on the way to Mariposa. Rescued birds, a collection of peacocks, pot bellied pigs, ducks, sheep, goats, emus, etc. and a lovely tree covered back picnic area. We didn’t try their food but there was a deli we’ll try next time and fruits and such.

This place was great. We stopped just for fruit and found a zoo meticulously clean and well cared for. An aviary with well cared for birds (even a rescued cockatoo). A very wide selection of great specialty honey, oils. Too much to name. Don’t pass through Merced without stopping.

If you are on the way to Yosemite, this is a great place to stop. Especially if you have kids. They have the sweetest Llama you will ever meet, plus cute potbellied pigs, peacocks, goats, and… a really nice little deli. Plus, you can purchase delicious dried fruits and nuts which represent our big valley’s bounty!

FUN!!! My husband and I were coming back from Mariposa and so glad to stop in! We did not have anything to eat, but bought some fresh produce and pictures. But the real fun are the farm animals! Such a cared for farm! A must for families or anyone that loves animals! We will definitly be back!

This is a pleasant farm to visit if you’re going to or coming from a trip to Yosemite. The adults enjoyed the variety of fruit, nuts and other goodies. And the kiddies enjoyed «Lola», the talking macaw in the store and also the other animals at the back, which you can view free of charge. Lots of picture ops here. They have a beautiful set-​up here and it looks like they welcome large groups of visitors with their picnic tables and clean and plentiful toilet cubicles.
