When I was in seventh grade our school took all of my grade to Yosemite, and we stopped here. I remember the friendly orange cat the greeted us, the screeching birds, and the beautiful shop we all wanted to buy from, but our teachers said no, and all the animals outside! Even sleeping baby bunnies. We sat at the tables outside and ate our lunch. We even got to come back on our way home from our trip! Its been years but Ive always wanted to come back. Took me forever to track it down haha.
Who knew this place was here. I didnt have enough time to browse and shop so I will definitely be going back and shop and look slowly and thoroughly. Not just a fruit stand, however they do sell alot of different fruit, it is also like a huge gift shop. Lots of nice, cute gift items. Will be going back soon. If you are in the area, recommend you stop and check it out.
Stopped by after our previous destination was too busy. Best spontaneous stop possible. The birds in the front were so sweet, playing with and talking to us. The store had plenty of Beautiful items. The cafe smelled amazing but sadly we ate before stopping by, maybe next time on that one. All of the animals in the back were so sweet and feeding them was a blast. Well spent visit and would love to return in the future.
Cute store with a good variety of products. They have a small barn next to the shop, and multiple cute birds.
What a fun pit stop on our drive to the mountains! We were surprised (and delighted) to find that they have several parrots and parakeets in front of the store and a whole picnic area with petting zoo out back complete with emus, peacocks, a pig and more. We picked up two of their frozen pies for Easter and they were delicious. And bonus, the bathrooms were super clean!
Nice family fun, freshly squeezed orange juice, gift shop, fresh produce, and nuts, kids can see different birds like Parrott, etc., most farm animals like hen, turkey, pig, cow, emu, llama, peacock, etc. Ample parking space, sandwiches, cafe, outside benches. One can see actual almonds, walnut, navel, orange, cherry, etc. Trees.
Nice stop outside Merced for fresh fruits, juices, dried fruits and candy. Also a walk among the farm animals. A unique shop filled with knick-knacks.
A nice place to stop and grab a snack, check out and find some gifts. My grandson loves seeing the Animals they have Parrots 🦜, chickens, turkeys, ducks, emu, llama, goats, a cow and donkey. Lots of shaded outdoor seating, nice indoor seating and clean well maintained restrooms.
Was really nice. The birds was unexpected and cool. The workers were very polite. They have very good pies and dry fruits
Very nice place, went there when i was young with my papa after dove hunting and stop in to this day as much as i can best and nicest employees and employers around,when someone votes for lunch, BLTs are amazing, fruit baskets around Christmas are always looked forward to.....Much love, yours truly,PUMPKIN
There were so many other roadside farm stores with fresh berries, cherries and fruits which were a lot less hyped
Good ice cream and theres a petting zoo.
Kids loved the animals. We fed the goats, and had some fresh squeezed orange juice.
Much more than just dried fruit,ice cream,coffee,sandwiches ect.
OMG !!! This is a very unique place. This was a wonderful experience I definitely will go back.❤️❤️😁🙏
An undiscovered treasure. Beautiful birds greet you. Wander, your gonna love it!
Huckleberry ice cream was great.
Everything,TOO EXSPENDSIVE, especially for a sandwich. No ice cream or milk shakes.Fresh Orange Juice tasted awful that Cost $4.99 a cup. Animals/small zoo in back of place was nice tho.
Cute place. On the way to Yosemite. They have tons of cute kitchen ware, bake ware and gift ideasFruits..its a fun place to visit.
Great ice cream.
The talking birds outside were a joy for our granddaughter. The nick naks in the store were too many to look at for grandma and I couldnt make up my mind on what kind of jelly I wanted.
Amazing place to visit with kids, talking parrots for them to play with
I love this place . Its so amazing to take my niece and nephews. I love the birds especially peanut hes my favorite
Great location to visit has a bit of everything. Love that they have a picnic area in the back with farm animals. Cant forget the birds in the front and they also have a playful cat. Great atmosphere to relax and enjoy.
Me and my fiance love going to this place. We have many memories shared with Mr. P as well as the other exotic birds and animals at the Merced Fruit Barn. The honey is always sweet and the atmosphere is always nice!
A good place to visit as a rest spot. Restrooms aplenty. Good coffee, sandwiches, even live parrots to see. Farm animals ..a most stop with kids.
Great place, and the sweetest folks running it. They always have local produce ( fruits and vegies). Whatever is in season, and lots of wonderful dried fruits.
My 1st time visiting the Fruit Barn. I was amazed at all the cute things they have inside. Totally not what I thought it was going to be. The best part was their parrots they have. Must go and visit them if you havent all ready.
Great but expensive produce
Cute little place. Friendly staff. We go during the day when its nice and quiet. Its very calming for my 6 month old and 4 year old.
Great stop for the family on the way in to Yosemite off highway 140. They have a petting area with Dolly Llama. Some turkeys a pig and a cow. They also rescue birds and have macaws. Simone like to wave to everyone visiting.There are plenty of restrooms to use and very clean!Dont forget to grab a sandwich or some snacks for the road trip. They have lots of nuts and fruits to choose from.
Cute store, great items! Great selection of fruits! Dried fruits were delicious & the gift baskets are beautiful!
Its cute. The employees were nice and informative. Nice place to go and get kitschy gifts
The Fruit Barn is a wonderful roadside store that offers a variety of gifts along with a nice delicatessen if you are ready for lunch or a snack. They provide the shopper and traveler fruit, dried fruit, and nuts separately or in gift baskets seasonally. When traveling along East Highway 140 you need to stop in.
The place is okay they have a lot of selections stop them nice and clean they do have like a little sandwich shop and coffee shop and I like to get the a espresso going on

Nicely kept grounds and shop. Cute gifts. Very good sandwiches.
Great fruit. Fresh, nice place to visit.
It reminds me of a smaller Casa de Fruta. Fresh produce, lots of nice gift shop items, local products, a nice deli. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating if yr stopping with a bus or crowd. You can walk around outside to see some animals, shady picnic tables. We will stop again when we pass through.
Really cool and fun place.You can feed all the different animals. There are talking birds.Good times!

Many stuff. Enjoyable. Prive is not easy.
Fresh fruits, coffee, ice cream stop.
Super cute establishment, great homemade (bread) sandwiches, and adorable farm animals
They have huge birds in cages, and the birds looked very very sad.Also, most of their products are in single use plastics that cannot be recycled and do not biodegrade.I feel so sorry for the macaw, he was cowering in corner of his cage with head bent in sorrow.
It is so disgusting how this people here hold those beautiful birds in extremely tiny cages....
Great fun shop, with a kids letting zoo. No end of fruit, yummy treats and nik naks for us tourists
Fun stop for fruit and bathroom, plus a petting zoo out back.
Great fruit place, all fresh.
Great sandwiches and a fun place to spend an hour.
Place to used restrooms. Talk to some kakatoouas. Perrots.
Terrible produce and high prices. The only thing I can appreciate here are the animals in back.
Cute place to visit great produce
Big, freakin deal. Im from the Midwest, so this is stuff I see all the time. A wasted stop on the tour.
Loved it. Going back soon.
