There is an problem: The jars of nut better are under-weighted, by up to 15%, and it varies from jar to jar. I recommend bringing a scale to weigh the jars, and buy the heaviest jar. If you get stuck with an under-weight jar, ask for a discount. The pistachio butter jar says 341 grams, but the last jar I bought was only 292 grams. It's cheaper to buy Fiddyment Farms pistachio paste on Amazon.

For those of you looking to get your fix on fresh, locally grown fruits, veggies, and nuts, you…read morejust may want to go off the beaten path and check out "Winters Fruit Tree". For those of you that don't know, Winters is a smaller farm town located in a more rural part of Yolo County. It lies east of Lake Berryessa, north of Vacaville, and west of Davis as its town is adjacent to the Putah Creek. Located directly on Grant Ave (Hwy 128), this fruit stand is a standalone business with no other neighboring businesses in the area. They offer a small parking lot; however it is unpaved and has loose gravel directly outside. Regular business hours are 11am-5pm Wednesday through Monday as they are closed on Tuesday. I had the opportunity coming here as I was passing through and decided to stock up on some fresh fruit. I've got to say that the fruit selection here was quite impressive as they had a generous amount of peaches, oranges, nectarines, apples, lemons, limes, grapefruit, and squash. There was also an abundance of walnuts, cashews, almonds, dates, and figs as well as numerous jars of honey (in all flavors), almond/oat/pistachio butters, olives, and olive oil. During my visit which was during the morning of Saturday 6/17/2023 at around 11:30am, I ended up getting several spring snow-white peaches, honey crisp apples, and a jar of almond butter to take home with me. The three ladies working behind the table were in an upbeat mood that were very friendly during my short visit. Considering this place started over 100 years ago in the 1920's (in Sunnyvale, CA), they have come a very long way while mastering the art of growing only the freshest fruits from their fields. All in all, "Winters Fruit Tree" scores a unanimous five-star rating from me as the selection, freshness of the fruit, reasonable prices, and above average customer service all scored high marks in my book. So if you're ever passing through the Winters area, go check them out!

I remember buying fruits from there when the CUESA farmers market was at the back of the Hyatt Regency Hotel as it was named back then. You get the drift. Various family members and friends man their booth on Tuesdays and Saturdays at the Ferry Farmers Market in San Francisco with the owners present Saturdays. My preference used to be shopping on Tuesdays to avoid the crowds and hustle bustle tourists. Due to the dwindling selection Tuesdays and a lesser crowd due to the pandemic, Saturdays are not as bad as normal, not to say I like it this way. On the first Saturday in March, I noticed that a few customers buying some flowers and, with Chinese New Year just wrapping up and the Cherry blossom season about to start, I bought a bunch for my family. They turned out to be peach blossoms (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=wdzZ2zYvI1lC-nB5zGEyOQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); my mom and her caregiver immediately recognized them and I, being the naiive one, felt like I just learned how to change a lightbulb. They are a nice addition to our living room with some of the Chinese New Year's plants withering away and my Costco tulip plant already blooming and long gone. With it being March, a tweener time fruits wise, they no longer have a stand on Tuesdays and likely will not be back until April when stone fruits begin to be harvested. Apricots, peaches, nectarines are the probably next to hit the market. And with the warmer weather, the increasing number of vaccinated people, and a general feeling of somewhat normalcy, things are beginning to look a little brighter now. Before you know it, it'll be cherry season. Can't wait!

It was early, around 4:00 p.m., and there were only two people dining inside. They agreed and eventually placed two tables together indoors. My thought was, why was this not offered from the beginning, especially given the heat and how empty the restaurant was? The ambiance was great, but unfortunately, the food was not. I ordered a salad with chicken. The salad was very skimpy, with only two thin slices of apple, two small orange slices, very little feta, and mostly lettuce. The chicken portion was extremely small and was served separately on a plate rather than sliced and placed on the salad as ordered. The other dishes were also small and underwhelming. The burger and fries were nothing special, and the spaghetti was plain and lacked flavor. If you are looking for great ambiance, this may be a nice place to visit. But if you are looking for great food, you may want to consider other options. For a great burger, I would recommend Buckhorn instead. It costs less and is much better.

There is limited seating and tables. Restrooms are squeaky clean and easy to access from outside. There is a ramp for access by motorized wheelchairs and devices. Excellent customer service.

They did have ceiling fans on, but they just moved the warm air around. We placed our order at the register.

I went to the one of the smallest restrooms I've been to. It was more like a closet that had been converted into a bathroom. You literally have to straddle the toilet to be able to close the door. They didn't offer any seat covers, so you have to use TP. The soap dispenser on the wall didn't really work, and the store bought soap dispenser on the counter had watered down soap in it. Once the food arrived, everything was piping hot except for my french fries, which were warm & limp. The ranch dressing was bottled. My egg sandwich was decent. My husband enjoyed his Chorizo/Eggs w/ Flour Tortillas. The waitress was nice, and brought us drink refills.

Mandarins are done and hoping that cherry tomatoes will be coming soon. Besides the fresh produce, he is one of few growers who make dried fruits and sells them in packages. He usually has a good variety of dried persimmons which make nice gifts. When melon season comes along again, this is the first stand that I will visit in getting my fill as he has a good range of cantaloupes, honey dews, and ambrosia melons when available. You can find him at the Ferry Building on Tuesdays on the south side of the building near the market booth. On Saturdays, his stand is on the south driveway facing the water.
