What a neat stop! My boyfriend and friend were coming home from a camping trip and stopped by Fresno. Saw this farm and decided to stop by. Really cool spot! One building had some souvenirs, dried fruits, fresh fruits, nuts, snacks, pickled goodies and other things to buy for the road or home! My favorite find was fresh pomegranate juice and you can't beat the price! A quart was about $10.99 and that's a steal, since pom juice is expensive! Next door, there is a bar with some really cool booths to look at. Definitely a really cool spot to check out. Would totally recommend! read more

A nice little stop if you need a break from your long drive. This is a great place to stop especially if you have kids because they have food and a little play area with a petting zoo in the back. And for the adults they have adult drinks! They also have a Store where they sell, knickknack stuff, toys, and snack. Food was good but the portions are small! They also have a bar for those that would like an alcoholic drink. There's an ice cream bar as well with different flavors. read more

I had no idea this place even existed until I searched pumpkin patches on Yelp. They don't have a true pumpkin patch, but they do offer a ton of delicious snacks, cool antiques and a fun hang with your kids that avoids hours of screen time. We bought a ton of snacks and there's literally hundreds to choose from; dried fruit, candied nuts, toffee, cinnamon rolls, craft popcorn, and gummy candy. We also got some ice cream for the road. Most of the items sold here are either grown in the surrounding farms or made locally in the Central Valley. I highly recommend Simonian Farms as a pit stop before heading out on a road trip. read more

It's a museum, fruit stalls, souvenir shop, nostalgic foods, grocery and pumpkin patch, all under one roof. Love this little gem on our stay in Fresno. They offered lot of nostalgic stuffs with a decent price. I got my nostalgic soda drinks in glass bottle and best of all, it's made with sugar cane, not corn syrup. We also bought the dried crystalized ginger, only $4, it's awesome and brought back all the childhood memories. read more

Things have changed in the last three years, almost as if they have a new family running it Caucasian people very nice, but what I have noticed is prices have doubled in some cases tripled, which makes it not a frequent spot for me any longer read more

Sister mentioned a nice business in Fresno called Simonian Farm that sells all kind of fruits and dried fruit goods. We took a trip while in King Canyon National Park to visit the store, which is only 40 miles away. This store features classic western attractions and other unique items. Sorry for not photographing fruits and dried fruit goods; I was too occupied photographing the attractions. Sister bought the plums and peaches, while I purchased dried fruits. I don't eat many fruits, although I did eat a lot of plums and peaches, which were so sweet and fresh. We were planning to return to get some more, but we're heading back to Los Angeles in the opposite direction. Until next time. read more

I went to Simonian Farms because I read online it was good for families. I wanted to take my 8 year old grandson someplace fun. It was just a store with local produce. They have some antique farm equipment and gadgets to look at. I read there was a shooting gallery and gold panning. The gold panning water wheel and slough was there and running but you could only purchase the bags of sand to pan from the red barn-which is only open on Sundays. The shooting gallery is in the red barn-which is only open on Sundays. We were there on Saturday. We bought some cold drinks from the store- the lady who helped us was very nice-and drove home. What a disappointment! read more

Simonian Farms is a total Fresno classic and a must-visit if you're into that "old-school California" vibe. It's way more than just a fruit stand; it feels like a massive, quirky museum of the Central Valley. Walking through the "Old Town" barn is always a trip--the collection of vintage tractors, antique bicycles, and old gas pumps is honestly impressive. I usually stop in for their spicy pistachios or a glass-bottle soda, and the selection of local dried fruits is hard to beat. It definitely has a touristy feel and the prices on some of the gift items reflect that, but for the atmosphere alone, it's worth the stop. read more

This is a great trip through time, we passed by the Simonian Farms and got a chance to visit this morning. I loved seeing the local honey, with honey jars you could purchase as well. So many different Jams (which I bought for stocking stuffers) and all varieties of pumpkins. I had to get some pumpkins for fall decorations of course. It's set up for the fall and Halloween seasons and we were greeted by a sweet black cat. They had vintage sodas. And fruit, dried fruit, candies, honey sticks and nuts as well. I even got a penny souvenir. I loved my visit, I'll come back for sure. read more

Well, I have always been able to find great quality fruit here. The workers have also been pretty good. They are very far away from where I live, which is difficult but understandable. I'm disabled and I need to know that they have what I'm looking for before I make that journey. This is where the unsatisfactory part comes in. It's hard to get someone on the phone all the time, which is common with a lot of stores. When I do get someone, they are irritated and uneducated on what is in stock. I hope it gets better because they sure do have great fruit. read more

The chocolate almonds, dry fruits and vegetables are amazingly delicious and fresh. The best quality at a reasonable price. I am so glad that they have on line order. The ladies working there are so friendly. read more

Always a fun visit. We went for cherries, but we're too late in the season. No problem... there was plenty of other fruits and sweets to distract us. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Thank you for a fun shopping experience!!! read more

Was looking for peaches to make some cobblers, they got me a whole box for a great price. Will be coming back for more.

Thank you to Ashley and everyone at Simonian Farms for helping to make our 40th high school reunion event so successful! Everything from the venue's beautiful grounds, dining/bar setup, options of amenities, its proximity to lodging, and food/catering choices were top-notch and many people who attended were extremely complimentary. So much so, that I am going to include some of the comments from our attendees in this review. Here's what our attendees had to say: "Beautiful yet comfortable casual atmosphere", "Casual yet felt very upscale...wonderful hometown hospitality", "hidden gem", "amazing atmosphere for reunions, family gatherings, and other events", and "perfect venue for our reunion...indoor/outdoor aspect works well...there was more room to accommodate a larger group, if necessary". Ashley was extremely flexible with our plans when changes came up, and she always made sure that we had everything we needed (right down to the last minute patio heaters for the surprise cooler weather!) It goes without saying that we would not hesitate to hold another high school reunion at Simonian Farms in the future! Sanger High Class of 1985 Reunion Committee read more

Simonian Farms is an attraction and farmland consisting of several elements seemingly randomly put together. There's a market, fruit trail, and museum (old town saloon), though the "antique" display is spread throughout the property (outside, inside the market, pretty much everywhere). The fresno county fruit trail and the museum are seasonal I think, so they weren't open during our recent visit in November. There was still plenty to see and do, including the Japanese/WW2 internment camp monument we were able to check out. We also got ourselves some bear poop (chocolate peppermints) and cowboy wine (Paso Robles Trail Boss cab) from the market, which had some unique and vintage items to explore. They have food trucks and food stands here on certain days/times and even hold special events, but it's not communicated on their website, so I'd recommend calling for more accurate info. There are ample outdoor tables and seating for sure. The whole place was kinda a ghost town when we visited, probably since it was late afternoon on a Sunday, and off season for some of the attractions, but I thought it was a cool spot with quirky offerings, and a bit of culture and history to be appreciated. Parking was easy on site as well. read more

We stopped in here as this was listed as an "attraction" on the Fresno Blossom Trail, but it looks nothing like the pictures from their website. To be fair, this review is just for their store since that was the only thing open when we were here on 3/9/2024. I found the place a bit run down. There's old farm equipment throughout, and an area of old rusted shopping carts. Inside the store there are knick knacks and some fruits, but not a large selection. They do have a pretty good selection of dried fruits and nuts at good prices. Also, the bathrooms are decent. Overall, I say you can skip this "attraction" if you don't need snacks or a bathroom break. read more

The place is unique with interesting antiques inside and out...but the last two times we've gone in the person (2 different people two different times), working the counter never even acknowledged us...didn't look at us, never said hello, just told us the price and handed us our receipt and the bag with our items. Never asked ...have you ever tried this item, or did you see our display of ____...Valentine's Day is coming, and we would have enjoyed some ideas to send out of state to our family and friends! But Nothing! Unfortunately, I think that will be our last visit. On a side note: The cat that wonders around the place could train their clerks on how to be friendly, talk to and welcome customers. read more

Came here in March looking for the Fresno blossom trail, only to find out it peaks in Feb and the March rainstorms pretty much drop all the blossoms (so no flowers when I came sadly)! They have a little grocery store in here where the cashier told me this - but just outside you see the groves of rows and rows of orange trees. It's quaint and cute, hope I can make it back in Feb sometime :) read more

Pumpkins, fresh fruit, dried fruit, wine, candy, honey, jams and nuts to name a few of the items. A fun place to browse and look at all the antiques or take pictures in the pumpkin patch area. read more

Fun little novelty store filled with all kinds of antiques and collectibles. It's especially fun when they have an event such as their pumpkin patch during the fall and petting zoo. They mostly specialize in dried fruits and nuts with some preserves, oils, house wines, ice cream, candies, colas, and root beers. They also have seasonal fresh fruits, farm fresh milk, eggs, and pomegranate juice. It's like a mini museum inside and so cool when the toy train is on. There is so much to see and it really takes you back through the decades with their collectibles. We also got to see the barn next door which is a decorated tavern open for limited hours when the food trucks come out. They serve beer and wine but it's also available to rent. Their grounds out back are beautiful and perfect for weddings or a reception. A great little institution in Fresno. read more

Came in on a Friday 2-23-24 at about 4:30. I liked the decor, but the quality of fruit was not good. I took a chance and bought a bag of ripe looking mandarins and when we got home the majority were rotten! Then the bagged snacks didn't have an expiration date or ingredients. The girl working there was not very helpful. It seemed like she was annoyed answering our questions. Overall bad experience here. read more

The Simonian Red Barn is the perfect venue! It is so unique and beautiful. The staff is amazing, beginning with event organizer/co owner Ashley. She made the process of planning my husband's surprise 50th party so easy and painless! And she is so sweet! We were so impressed with the bar ( our bartender Orlando, I think, was great!), the shooting gallery, the staff, the set up, the tables and chairs (beautiful on their own!). I was too busy and anxious to drink but my guests raved over the wine slushes. We chose the three taco meal and let me tell you... the caterer is amazing. The food was phenomenal, their service and personalities were kind and customer oriented, and they packed up all the left over food for us. That was impressive. It was a bit cold to make use of the outdoor space, though some guests did go out back, and it is so pretty out there, it is the perfect wedding venue too. I got my monies worth, that is for sure. I will definitely recommend to all my friends and family. read more

I have passed by this place many times but finally went in today. The store is very well organized with all sorts of fruit and chocolate candies, nuts, snacks, and also fresh coffee. This store has so many good, locally crafted snacks and we bought so much - corn nuts (garlic infused and ranch flavored), chocolate covered cherries, trail mixes, chili lime pistachios, and chocolate covered coffee beans. They have a lot of snacks very similar to the Sierra Nut House but this place is more established (been around longer), bigger, and has more of a selection. The corn nuts were super crunchy and had a great texture. The chocolate-covered cherries were so amazing - it had great flavor and a good amount of chocolate around it. We really enjoyed all the snacks we purchased here and will definitely be back. read more

We've been wanting to come here but things kept coming up so we weren't able to make it. A couple of our friends were available so we decided it wound be fun to double date and eat foods from the food trucks since they were having an event here. Parking was a little tough for anyone pulled in after us. The parking lot was almost full. I only saw maybe 3 parking spots left. Glad we were able to find one and our friends were able to find a spot as well. We stopped in the shop and they had so many goodies. Reminded me of Casa de Fruta but prices were less here! Service was very friendly and it fully stocked. It was neat to see their antiques too. I'm so glad we were able to stop by, now I can get all the goodies here instead of Casa de Fruta! We will definitely be back! read more

Great spot to stop by with the family and check out their vintage farm gear and other items while picking up some snacks for the road or to bring home. If you're lucky you'll see their resident cat. I picked up some strawberry jams, corn nuts, pickled garlic olives/green beans/asparagus, chocolates and dehydrated fruits. They also have a selection of sodas, wines, eggs, cheese, small selection of fresh fruit, vegetables and ice creams. Plenty of places to sit outside. If you purchase a bag of sand, the kids can even pan for some gold and feed some goats (buy the oats inside the store). We'll definitely come be coming back the next time we're in town. read more

Great local farm! Since 1901! I stop by here everytime I'm in Fresno. They have an adorable little goat petting zoo. You can spend 3 dollars to buy goat food to feed them as well. Their dried fruit selection is amazing. My coworkers and family always asks for chili mango and the dried apple chips. I personally love the banana chips as well. They also have a large selection of unique sodas, really cool if you're into that. Jones, Stewart's, boylans, Fargo, etc. The fresh produce is also cheap and usually delicious. Produce changes by season. They had corn, melons, stone fruits, and strawberries in June/July. They'll have pumpkins in October, and Christmas trees in December! They also have a selection of candy, ice cream, wine, olives, coffee beans, and random knick knacks. Stop by this place if you're in the area! It's a quaint little farm/store that makes you want to support them and the agricultural business around them. Plus, cute goats! read more

We live nearby and come here often. The pumpkin patch in fall and their Christmas decorations definitely make it a great spot to take photos of your little one. Last year we took photos with Santa and explored the barn which had a large sleigh. We just took my little to explore the pumpkin patch and she had a blast running around. The goodies inside the store make great gifts! There is local honey, nuts, wine, and other goodies. read more

Cute place to visit. It is like a smaller/local Casa de Fruita. There are food trucks on Fridays. Although there are shaded seats, it gets pretty warm in the summer so bring water. There is a local fruit stand with fruit, wine and cute sodas. There is also a shaded beer garden area. read more

We stopped by to buy some produce and dried fruits on our way back to LA. What a cute place to spend an hour or two. Walking thru this property is like walking back in history. I believe the farm has been open since the early 1900s. Wow ... so many antiques displayed through the place. We went to the barn and were surprised to find such a fun place for the kids to play and wonder around. Fully air conditioned barn felt really good after being out in the 107 degree weather for 5 minutes. Phew what a relief. Anyway inside the barn you can find a small western town filled with figurines, cars and antiques. They also have games , food and ice cream. In the back corner they offer wine tasting and in another corner they sell candy, snacks and variety of bottles sodas and creams. Lots of chairs and tables to sit and enjoy your ice cream or hot dog. The market has variety of dried fruits, fresh vegetables and fruits, nuts, jellies, eggs, honey and more. I bought some juicy peaches, figs , cherries and tomatoes. All in season right now. So sweet and delicious. Prices were lower that what we are used to here in LA. I also bought some dried persimmons that taste amazing. Overall a great place to stop by when in the area. You won't regret it. I only wish they offered U-Pick your own veggies and fruits straight from their huge farm. That would be amazing.. read more

Very kitschy little farm stand! My dad introduced me to this place...as an adult! He was shocked I had never been here while growing up on every fruit under the sun in our ag town. Apparently he must have brought fruit home from here and I just didn't know where it came from. This farm stand has so much to look at you can easily be distracted from your task as hand when you get out of your car. From the train in the parking lot to the odds and ends hanging from every nook and cranny of the inside space, you are sure to leave the place smiling and with goodies in tow. read more
