I have been coming here off and on for 5 years. Best tamales around to start. Extremely clean and employees are helpful and friendly. Good selection of fresh and dried fruits. Also nuts, honey, salsa, hot sauce to name a few other choices. Whenever we are in Dixon or passing by this is a no brained stop for us. See you next time. Also there is no excuse why I have not posted before this read more

I came here hoping to find fresh fruits to take along my travels to Reno. I was a bit disappointed with the fruits. They weren't as fresh. They have been sitting around too long. I bought their freshly squeezed Orange Juice. It was sweet and delicious. I bought my husband chocolate chip cookies. He said it was super good and wanted more. Lastly, I got their Cajun pistachios. It was a disappointment. No flavor except for salt and chilies. Beware. read more

I was charged a random $5 "surcharge" with no explanation. Most of the produce I purchased was already rotten, including a tiny pie the size of my hand that cost $13. I also ordered tamales, which were very disappointing. The orange juice tasted diluted, like it was half water. I ordered a latte that was unsweetened, so I went back inside immediately to add sugar. While doing so, the woman at the counter counted each pump I added, which made me uncomfortable, and then accused me of using my own coffee--even though I was clearly holding a cup from their shop and had just been there moments earlier. I left with a very small bag of produce and spent nearly $70. Overall, this was a frustrating experience, and I won't be returning. read more

We stopped by to try some tamales. Got some cherry, nacho chips, salsa and pie. Customer service is good they. One of review I read is check your receipt... yes it's pricey. I was surprised with my receipt as well.. read more

We stopped in specifically for the tamales. We saw the signs while driving on the freeway and had to stop. They charge extra for a small thing of salsa. The lady that rang us up overcharged us for the salsa, but I didn't realize it until I left. They had some outside seating in case you wanted to eat there. Oh, we also bought some homemade ice cream. I didn't care for the peach one I picked out but my daughter loved the ice cream she picked out. The employees were nice and the market was clean. read more

I missed my normal stop so I dropped in to give the store another shot. I ordered a couple tamales and I was truly disappointed. The chili-cheese tamale had cubed yellow cheese that was brownish. It had a funky burnt plastic taste too. I ordered a chicken tamale as well and the masa was dried out. Maybe I got the two-day old ones. I won't be coming back.. read more

If you want fresh produce, go to Pedrick Produce in the next exit. This isn't a honest vendor. If you want bulk goods shop here but be careful on prices. The dishonesty makes me question whether the quality is there. I stopped buying anything from this vendor moving forward after interactions w/ the owner. There is a couple order of magnitude differences in volume between this vendor and Pedrick Produce. If there isn't volume there aren't good prices and freshness. Every answer to questions are evasive and follow the standard template if you buy now the price will be higher later or.. we have the best prices. Once you visit Pedrick you know this vendor is dishonest. read more

Great selection of nuts, dried fruit, jams, popcorn, Candy, some fresh fruits depending on the season. Usually send these as good holiday treats to family out of state. Also some other random things like salsas, hot sauces. read more

The most beautiful, large and deliciously light not sour oranges and fresh juice made on the spot and 4 kinds of honey for sale. Among many other things. The honey is a nice size and great for local allergies. I was coming to check out the Honey situation and find out where it's from. Local? Yes. He points across the freeway. I was commenting on their large Valencia oranges. He mentioned they also had fresh juice. He just pressed a couple. So in the middle of ringing me up he ran to the back to get me an orange juice, then so did the people next to me. So good, but again not overly tart. Great fresh juice was $5. Got a Giant jar of Honey for $20. I will be back! 4 kinds on hand i am always searching for my allergies. This place is off at "A Street exit" from the freeway in Dixon. It's has a full rest stop full of snacks and drinks, boxes of all kinds of fruit- pomegranates, you name it. A farm style stand off the side of the road w/rustic charm. read more

I did enjoy the jalapeño and cheese tamale - otherwise it was not a pretty sight. Not much in the way of variety or good quality produce. Having shriveled up or over ripened fruits and veggies is never a good sign. Next time I will go to Pedricks. read more

I loathe bait & switch tactics. Anything dishonest riles me up. If you see signs advertising great prices, don't count on it. Sign said 69¢/lb oranges. No such thing. Annoyed, I bought a bag anyway. They were nice & heavy = juicy. $10 for 10 lb. Peeled nicely = fresh. However, bland AF. And over the advertised price. Complete waste of my money. Nasty restroom. Party due to being right off I-80 and not much else for restroom options. Not entirely their fault but a lot of it is. Everything inside is priced high, if prices are posted. Everything is basically $10 or more. Place sells mostly jam, nuts, honey, and pistachios of various flavors. Don't fall for the quarters cemented to the floor by the registers. Who is such a jerk that they find that funny at a "produce" stand? Also, if you're excited about the wild game jerky, be sure to check the label. You'll see they're likely 50/50 of chosen meat and some other meat. Not likely to taste great, either. I won't be returning. read more

I drive pass their sign on the freeway weekly going back and forth between the bay and Sacramento, always wanted to stop by but never had the right chance. Finally, the chance came, and I've never been so disappointed, like really. Not one produce was fresh; moldy, soft, lots of flies... The tamales taste like it's been sitting out for 2-3 days without refrigeration, kind of stinky and sour. Will not return. read more

I love the new tamales sign off of 80! They have the BEST tamales . We always go from sac to SF and this js our to go too stop for goodies and snacks read more

Not quite a fruit stand, although they do sell fruit. They sell more nuts than anything. Pistachios to be specific. In every flavor imaginable. Even tequila flavor. Yes, tequila. There are also lots of jams, jellies, preserves, fruit butters, a variety of dried fruit, and a small offering of bulk candy. They also offer exotic and game meat jerky. I came for the homemade pistachio ice cream which did NOT disappoint. They offer single serve cups as well as pints (or was it quarts?). Good thing too because I LOVE pistachio ice cream and would have happily eaten an entire pint (possible quart) if I absolutely had to I also bought a bag of salt and lemon pistachios for myself and some alligator jerky for my best friend. The pistachios were good, but unfortunately the flavor stays mainly on the shell because many of the pistachios have such narrow openings that it's hard for the flavor to get through. Nevertheless, they were still delicious. read more

It was there all this time! After years of driving by Dixon Fruit Market on our way up north or back on Hwy 80, we finally decided to pull over and check them out. Within the first few minutes I was thinking what took me so long! Founded in 1975, Dixon Fruit Market is the oldest fruit market on I-80. It is family owned and operated. Most of their products come from local farms. While we were there, a number of customers sopped by and start chatting with the operators one of whom, I later found out, was the son of the owner. One told me that they have been shopping there for many years! Dixon Fruit Market offers a large selection of local nuts, dried fruits, jams, butters, and olives as well as fresh seasonal produce. I can vouch for their oranges, berries and honey! We bought a bag load of oranges and every single one was delicious! The honey was very aromatic and the berries ..... well, I ate those so fast I could not even recall the details! Next time we are there, I will explore the nuts! Here is a nice article about the market from a few years ago: https://www.dailydemocrat.com/2017/02/16/world-drops-in-at-busy-roadside-produce-markets/ read more

I have been to the Dixon fruit market a few times and loved the quality of the fruit. I drive 30 mins away as I enjoyed the fruit and the service. I do not know what happened! New staff were there that I have not interacted with before. I had to keep looking through the fruit to find something that did not have mold on it. I finally picked grapes that looked good. I get home and start eating the grapes and most are soft and had a few mold spots on them. I purchased plums and find most of the soft! It was a waste of $47 for my total purchase! They just lost me as a customer! read more

We stopped by here because there was an accident on the highway and we saw a bunch of the signs heading in and easy to get to.. We saw the fresh OJ and the watermelons, tamales and nuts. When you look outside and inside, you get the country general store feeling back in the days before everything is modernized. There is a lot of selection of nuts, dried fruits, candy and fruits. They ran out of tamales though, so did not get to try them out. The prices for a bag of nuts and candy are usually $10 dollars. Please note they do charge 1.98% for credit card usage so we paid all in cash. We enjoyed the fresh OJ which was I believe around $4.50 which was worth the price. Have not tried the nuts, watermelon or oranges, but I am sure they are great. read more

The fruit look good but after getting home, a lot of the strawberries had bad spots. A lot of strawberries had to be cut/trim. I couldn't check them because they have a sign "do not touch fruit". I'm sure the good looking fruit was put on top for presentation. The parts of the strawberries that were good still had a mildew taste. Definitely not worth the price! Everything else in the store was good but I would stay away from the strawberries. Loose fruit you can touch like oranges are fine because you can pick your own. read more

I stopped here and got some nuts. I noticed none of the items have expired dates. I should have taken this and ran away. I got some pistachios and they tastes rancid. Old and stale. Won't be back ever. read more

During the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the most difficult things to deal with is the psyche of kids and the elderly. My mother, who is an active, independent woman in her 70s, has been cooped up inside the house since the shelter-in-place order was enacted more than two months ago. To be honest, I worry about the negative effects of the order on her. To alleviate her boredom, I decided to take her out for a drive to Dixon Fruit Market on 05/16/2020. Dixon is a small town just south of Davis. This market is located near the off-ramp of Exit 63 of I-80. We used to come here a lot when my brother was a student at UC Davis. We arrived at around 3 pm and there were only a few customers shopping. There were some fresh fruits and vegetables displayed outside, but the selection was limited. The inside was very clean and some safety measures were implemented by the staff. There was a large selection of different nuts, dried fruits, and local honeys, plus some fresh fruits and vegetables. We ended up purchasing a jar of local honey for about $16. The staff was friendly and helpful. We were glad to see this place is still around after all these years. With no end to the pandemic in sight, I'm sure I will take mom here again just so she can be outdoors. BONUS MATERIAL: - Major credit cards accepted. read more

took a pit stop for some nuts and restroom break. Restroom is not that neat. Among the nuts, salted pistachio is good. Salted Cashews are good. And the salted green peas. Peanuts were not good. Popcorn was average (butter and caramel). Got amazing freshly squeezed Orange juice. Pistachio ice cream was bad. Vegetable chips was bad. And the prices, sky high! Overall not impressive and not worth it read more

Don't believe the sign hype. Expectation: home-spun farm stand. Reality: Tourist trap with a million assortments of nuts and snacks packed into a store. Perfectly nice people and a HUGE selection of items - but the prices were high, and the fresh pistachio ice cream was in an iced-over freezer in commercially packaged cups. And there were very few fruits and vegs, all dry snack mixes and nuts. read more

We just stopped for the first time visit after passing this place on the 80 to the Bay my whole life. It's funny how there's so many amazing places in our own backyard and this is by far one of them. The customer service and friendliness of everyone was so nice and they even have fresh squeezed in front of you Orange juice. Best I've ever had! We got the raw cashews, cappuccino almonds, dark chocolate sea salt peanuts, unsulferized ginger. On the way out we tried the watermelon and threw one in and a couple cantaloupes too that were the daily special of $1. Left happy and I am excited to have a great place to stop anytime I pass by. read more

Good Tamales! (Note: Closed on Tuesdays) We stopped here last week for the first time, after we missed the Pedrick Produce exit. Location: going eastbound on I-80 it's in the right side, you'll see the multiple handmade signs on the roadside that advertise their goods. It's an actual building, not just a shack. ***Tamales: 3-pack for $9.65. You can buy them hot(need to wait 10 mins while they heat them in the back room), or cold to warm up at home. They come wrapped and in a plastic container. Pork, chicken, or chili cheese(?), we got chicken and they don't skimp on the filling. These are better than Pedrick's but you do have to wait a short while to have them warmed. I'd come here again for the tamales. Nuts: wide variety but not as many as Pedrick's. Everything I saw was $9.99 a bag. Milk chocolate peanuts were good! But they don't have mixed nuts so I bought my neighbors trail mix and a chocolate ball fruit mix. Wild game: Also got some alligator jerky sticks, they advertise wild game, there's a display stand in the left rear of the store w prepackaged jerky and meat sticks (alligator, wild boar, turkey, beef, etc.). There's a sign advertising pistachio ice cream and one couple was eating some outside, but it was too cold for me, maybe next time. Service: OK. They sell t-shirts behind the counter that read "Fauci lied, Millions died!" I'll leave it to you to decide on this. Restroom: one dirty room accessible from outside on the rear right wall. Heavy duty deadbolt but it's kept unlocked. I thought of prison cell when I saw it. No seat covers and no soap!!! Come for the tamales, maybe for the nuts. Parking: limited, in front of the store, maybe 8(?) spots. read more

I love this little market! Fresh veggies, fruits, and pies. All kinds of nuts... a little snack from everyone in the family. I miss their homemade ice cream that they use to sell... however, can't go wrong with fentons ice cream :). It's busy most of the time; however, service is fast. read more

Stopped in for a lemon. Was pretty reasonable- 35 cents and I had a very decent looking lemon. This "wild game" jerky seems to be an attraction. Not sure why. It's not like there's any sort of wild game in the area. I honestly didn't spend much time here. Came in looking for a lemon, found it, had to call out (BFD) for a cashier and pay. Thirty five whole cents. And I just found out today that there is a 90 percent chance that I'm from Mexico. :-D read more

Ice cream is yummy Gotnuts may be mislabeled--my onion garlic is more salty than flavored, my jalapeño was more sour than jalapeño. read more

The little ice creams here are out of this world! The service was fantastic and the layout is really cute inside. I loved listening to the owner discuss how long they have been there and also knowing that this business supports local growers is quite incredible. I was a bit disappointed with the oranges as one was already bad upon opening the bag today. Hopefully the rest are okay to make up for the one that I had almost gotten ready to put on a salad. Otherwise, the produce has been fine so far including the cherries! read more

Stopped in today; Got a bag of pistachios and there was no crunch! Completely stale! Paid $20. Also bought watermelons; first one cut was a 2 out of 5! I should have passed on the melon; I asked if they were sweet and the answer was;" I don't eat them; " . After cutting them no one should eat these things! Jokes on me! $40 later! Just go to the next stand! Wish I would have! read more

This is a large fruit stand that markets much more than they should. They offer fresh and dried fruit, nuts, honey, cute items and many concoctions and combinations of food with a multitude of seasonings and coatings (such as yogurt, coconut, chocolate) for spicy, sweet, salty tastes. There is a HUGE problem with food quality and item's are pricey as well. The first time I went I bought various expensive things. The checker asked if I wanted the receipt. I should have taken it. It was a Mother's Day gift and was awful, inedible and embarrassing. The fruit is subpar. You're not supposed to taste the fruit before you buy, so I asked the seller if the cherries were sweet. He shrugged and said "I don't know". I bought them anyway and they were tasteless, not sweet and the texture of some other fruits I bought were odd. The bagged nuts looked great, but they were extremely rancid (smell & taste). They don't have a sell-by date so they might be on that shelf for years until they get sold. Two stars for ambiance, ample parking and polite staff. read more
