Simonian Farms

I stopped by for some blood oranges and to take some interesting pictures. Left with some great shots and 2 bottles of wine along with a cute tote bag for The Blossom Trail. I'll be back for more Pink Moscato

Stopped by this shop on the way to Fresno. The shop has a a lot of old tractors displays outside. The shop carries variety of dry fruits, nuts, nut candies.

I will not be ordering from Simonian farms ever again nor will I recommend anyone to spend money at this business. Everything I ordered (chocolate covered cashews, chocolate covered strawberries and blueberries along with chocolate covered pretzels) was melted beyond recognition. Had it not been for the labels printed on the back of them, I wouldn’t know what each package of melted contents was supposed to contain. It would appear that this business has never shipped food before - the package contained only two small ice packs which did absolutely nothing to keep my order from melting. An absolute waste of money. Everything looks disgusting now. Ridiculous prices as well for how everything was shipped to me. I expected more from this business 👎🏼

This place is a must to go, if you are visiting Clovis CA. Family friendly. The Barn is a cute experience for the little ones. Great and friendly staff. It is full of farm's antiques, fun to explore outside and great for a photo- op. Their products are great quality, little bit expensive but it is worth it. Also, There is a beautiful tribute tower to Japanese American WWII internees, farmers by the barn area. Fun during Pumpkin Patch and Christmas time. Food court outside and wine tasting, Closed at this moment do to Covid19 restrictions. Fun fact: On September 5, 1995 Bill Clinton visited this location and there is a display with photos from his visit inside of the main store. Enjoy your day at the Simonian Farm. Update: December 12,2022 It is the most festive place to buy a Christmas tree!

A great place with Historical significance in agriculture. BUT THATS NOT ONLY WHY, it's a perfect quiet atmosphere to take people with disabilities for community outings. Participating in crowded events was hard. We as a family was able to experience Fall pumpkin patch with photo opportunities. Christmas with trees. A tractor ride that was completely affordable. Specialty local fruits and treats sold and could sample. Highly recommend.

A super cool store to stop by and get gifts, fruits, nuts, honey, souvenirs, candy, etc. lots of super cool, trinkets and collectibles. They have good coffee and bottled juice made from their own fruits. The bathrooms were clean and people were nice. I just thought a few things were a bit overpriced(the candy and honey) but unfortunately that’s the case everywhere now with this economy.

A must see if you’re into antique farm equipment or dried fruits and nuts. A very eclectic place selling mostly dried and candied fruits and nuts grown in the San Joaquin Valley. The yards around the store are full of old farm implements - tractors, trucks, plows, etc with other interesting oddities and some very entertaining hosts. One sober reminder of our past is a gatehouse reconstructed out of wood from a Japanese internment camp. It’s definitely a cool collection and we picked up various snacks while there. Don’t forget to buy a little flake of hay for the goats!

Very helpful place to shop for you Christmas tree. We purchased a 5/6 ft tree for $40. The water container is 20 for a small or 25 for the large. They help you load it on your car and provide rope. In addition, we got a coupon for a bag of mandarins to redeem at their store! I’m happy with their excellent service and affordable beautiful trees.

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.

Haven't been there for a while use to go when they had the food trucks and Dj in the bar. Hope they bring it back.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We attended a wedding at that location. The location was convenient and loved the indoor/outdoor experience. I heard no complaints about the food and the staff.

Me and my husband was invited to a birthday party held at Simonian farms. We had an amazing time. Definitely recommend visiting.

On the Blossom Trail. Stop by for local fresh and dried fruits, nuts, snacks, browse old farm equipment displays and antique signs etc. Outdoor seating and restrooms available. 8lb bag of local orange for $4. $40lb bag for $15! Oranges were sweet as advertised. Recommend if in the area.

Hello! I finally got my wedding photos in and wanted to give some update photos of the venue and food. Please view the photos if you are a visual person. Food was great and the service is amazing. For all the brides looking for a venue I hope this helps!! 10/10 would recommend

They have great things to choose from food ice cream & random things for the kids to get Service is always great Ambiance is always on point

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.

We couldn't have picked a better place to host my Daughter and future son's engagement party! The venue was beautiful but The staff was amazing and attentive to all of our needs! Ashley was beyond helpful she was like talking to a friend. I would host another party here and recommend this venue to anyone who wants a beautiful venue and best customer experience!

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.

Such a fun place to take the family. The fruits in the shop are always tasty. Pumpkins are a nice touch during fall.

The food wasn't bad. The service was quick and friendly. Attentive people. The feel of the place was cute and nice.

Simonian Farms is a really great spot to find unique drinks and snacks! The staff is really nice and helpful with any questions you may have. The barn and patio is such a beautiful area to host any event...10/10!

I love coming here! There is a monument dedicated to four Japanese American families who mentored the owner of Simonian Farms. There is so many historical pieces in the property. This place has great snacks, wine, jams, jellies, fruit & vegetables. Don't miss out those flavored milks! Especially the Root Beer milk if they have it!!!! If you like Root Beer floats, you'll love this!

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!

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!

A fun place to visit and look around. Lots of packaged fruits and nuts to choose from. Plus, Fresno State ice cream.

Just left the store and a woman was sitting in a chair at the register. Very shocking to see this. This is very unprofessional. I did enjoy the wide variety of fruit and nuts though. The young girl was helpful when I asked what kind of nuts they had. I was able to find some chocolate covered raisins and orange candies.

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.

First time here. They have wine tasting, market with a lot of fresh local fruits and vegetables. If you pass by visit then. You will find something for you. They had a food truck and boots with some vendors. We bought a candle a d come dried fruit. Some fresh corn and cherries.

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..

Simonian Farms is a country store with lots of stuff that is grown on the farm. They have seasonal products and also dried products, wines, preserves, olives, dairy products, and lots of other stuff. They even have antiques, a shooting gallery, throwback sodas, and they do wine tasting. If you have some time pay this place a visit.

Very nice free museum with lot of old artifacts indoor and old farm equipment outdoor. Plus a good small store for dry fruits, honey and so on.

Fun family outing,lots to check out. Lots of things in the store . They had a wedding going on so they didn't have the food trucks but it was still a nice little local gem

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.

We visited Simonian Farms and bought the most delicious pomegranate wine . Took some cool pics of the fam . Def cool retro stuff and worth a stop.

What a disappointment it was to hear such good stuff about Simonian Farms and drive a great distance for nothing. They did have a good collection of dried fruits and chocolate covered nuts. If you like old antique signs and farm equipment there's plenty there to see. We came for the fresh fruit and vegetables and there were none. There's no indication on any website that there would be no produce and we had done a lot of research. There was a note on a red barn nearby that said they were going to open the barn this coming Sunday. But again no mention of produce. After a 3 hour drive to get there, we left with a bag of chocolate raisins I could've gotten anywhere.

We came here for Food Truck Friday, we brought our little one and it was so fun to see him explore all the goodies they had around the property. All the old machinery and little passageway behind the barn in the parking lot was super neat, I mean they had old washer machines, and tractors and mailboxes, and historical facts, just soo well presented. Then the statues and items for sale around the property, the goats that were on one side, my little loved stopping by and feeding them, they were soo cute. We got our food from the food trucks but did get our dessert from inside the store, as soon as my little saw some ice cream in a cone, he was on a mission to find where it came from. Also we didn't get to make it to the 21+ side, but it looked nice, with the set up and the music playing, we will have to come by next time for an adult night. Great place to come hang out.

Simonian Farms is a Fresno City Historic landmark and is over a 100 years old. The farm is over 80 acres and produce more than 180 crops that are sold at the family-run fruit stand. You can find great deals on vegetables, nuts, fresh fruit, dried fruit, jams to name a few items. They're very well priced and you can see the quality and taste it. Walking through this landmark, is like walking back in history, as it littered with antiques from the 1800's to 1950's. They have a sluice box with water wheel, which I thought was cool enough, to video lol In 2012, they built a 5000 Sq, foot Museum, with old cars, FRESNO STATE Ice Cream, which I LURVVVVVVVVVV lol, and yes more antiques. What's amazing it this huge building is kept really nice and chilly. It was like 100F outside and in the 70's inside. They also have daily wine tasting, which the Farms has produced. My bottom line...Will I go back? Most definitely, the fresh produce and photo opportunities will having me going back for years to come. I just hope you leave me some of that delicious Ice Cream lol

Great little find! Lots of goodies to choose from. Some of the shops were closed. We will come back. Cool memorial ere Ted to honor families in Japanese internment camps.

Amazing place to go with the kids and family. They got honey, local fruits, wine, and more. Definitely a place to stop by.. old memories comes to life

Fun little pumpkin patch with a hunted train box cart just scary enough for the littles. Love the generous samples of high quality produce. Kids sour patch raisins. More of a plce to take the kids if you dont want to spend hours in a pumpkin field, prices are on the bottom of pumkins(very reasonable) also have a mini hay maze which is free.

Another Fresno County treasure. Right on the blossom trail, close to Hwy 99 (take Jensen east), convenient for those of us in the Clovis area, and worthwhile for tourists and locals alike. For us locals, this is an excellent place for fresh fruit and veggies (check the onions--they are sometimes a bit soft) at AMAZING prices. This is my go-to place to purchase bulk walnuts in the winter, as well as raisins, dried fruits, and assorted goodies for gift baskets and care packages. For tourists, this is a great and affordable farm store to purchase dried fruits, nuts, trail mixes, chocolate covered anything, candies, etc, and to find unique souvenirs and gifts for anyone on your list. I always take visiting friends and family to Simonian Farms, and am never met with disappointment. I try to stop by at least once a month for seasonal fruit. Generally, the price is too good to pass up buying in bulk (we recently purchased 40lbs of gigantic naval oranges for under $10.00, and all of them were sweet). We were able to either eat or give away all, and not one orange was wasted. I am definitely a fan, and will definitely be back.

I like this place! Hubby and I went looking for a unique gift basket. Found a few! I advise take some time to check out the the whole area. The stores, the antique items, the original gifts. Cool place!

Amazing wedding all the way around! Working with Ashley and her staff on planning our son's wedding was absolutely perfect. She is accommodating, knowledgeable, and helpful. We received nothing but positive feedback on the beautiful venue from all of our guests. Honestly, we wouldn't change a thing.

They have some of the BEST Honey and Jams! Worth every penny and to spot! Cute place to explore. Check out our YouTube visit here: https://youtu.be/PHSF96tNnbc

Enjoyed our visit to Simonian Farms this past March while touring the Blossom Trail. Just learned how to post pictures to Yelp, which brought back the memories. Their large property is highlighted with lots of signage to encourage you to stop. It was worth the time. So much to see and try to absorb visually! We especially loved the big red barn with a scaled-down Western town inside. The attention to detail even impressed my brother, the world traveler. He remarked that it's inspiring to see someone pour their passion into their business, with such obvious care. He felt it had a similar level of detail as you see at Disneyland. I agree! Hooray for Fresno State Bulldog ice cream being served in the barn! Completely yummy. My 11-year old nephew agreed with a big grin and an ice cream mustache. They offer wine tasting in another area of the barn, but we weren't bellying up to that bar that afternoon. I was busy taking photos in the barn, then outside on the grounds and didn't spend much time in the produce market building. Dear Hubby said the selections were plentiful and prices fair. Fanciful fun!

Love the jams and the tourists-y feel of the place. We go there mostly for the jam and preserves but I have gotten some of their fresh fruit and love it all.

I went here for the first time last night for a small gathering. It was such a cute place. It was very clean, including the bathrooms. And a tiny detail that I noticed ... the tables they set up for dinner were good quality. They didn't Put table cloths on them and they didn't need to. It looked like that reclaimed wood look and it was lacquered so there weren't any splinters. The bartenders and the bar were organized so there was never a line at the bar. They served tacos and they were yummy.

Bought what we thought were fresh almonds 11/11/2021. Selected 4 different types. Got them home and discovered they all stale and smelled rancid. Contacted them on their website and to date have had no response from them. Very disappointed in the customer service. I have shopped there over the past 18 years when I have been in the area. Will not be stopping hear again.

"there is nothing to do in Fresno !!!" or "fresno is so boring!!" is the routine grumble anyone would hear from Fresno Haters, and that remains for both out of towner's and also some of its unforgiving residence. Now here is an idea, why not take one weekend and visit the bee's knees of Fresno like the Simonian Farms ....because you might stop and think, 'Hey' Fresno isn't too bad and "oh" there's actually something to do here that's really cute for that Instagram post for you to share with your friends and make them want to be here, also experience that blast from the past circa historic authentic old feeling, and not to mention a great place to shop for fresh artisanal farm goods from the central valley. The Simonian Farms, is an intermix of a farmers market, a historic museum and a Fresno agriculture monument. Its a dyad of a huge red air-conditioned barnyard that exhibits the cute past of the circa age or the 1920's and 30's and also there is a little framers market that sells, fruits, nuts, wines, cheese, onions, honey, milk, chocolate, gifts. The barnyard transports you from the year 2015 and puts you to the good old times in the 1800's- 1900's when big corporations like coke just started on their training wheels, and gas pumps looks like something from an alien ship. Simonian even exhibits an old car in this well exhibited barnyard, and plenty of neon lighted signs. This place is pervaded with memorabilia from the past, and evoke the unique experience of the good old age that we all wish to relive. You could gran some ice cream here, and also score an old time soda at the Simonian. The smell of popcorn permeates the entire barnyard, giving this place such an authentic movie feel. The best part of all, the popcorn is FREE ! The Framers market is stupendous, its not the run-of-the-mill farmers market that you get from everywhere in California. Because all the produce here is made and grown within 5-10 miles of the Simonian farms; best part everything is affordable. I got a honey comb tub for only $13.99 collected from a local bee grower in Sanger. These babies normally are priced $15-$30. Plus the framers market is the most beautiful decorated farmers market I have ever seen, lines of classical style bicycles dangle from the 15 foot ceilings, while told rain track's run across your head, making it feel like a kids store almost. Then there is the FREE sampling of their produce. Everything for the pantry at home fresh from the farms is sold right here. Simonian is also a unique place to get a gift that is made from the central valley for friends and family from other places or even in the valley, on account of the products being labeled unique to the valley. Its the perfect souvenir store for those visiting, also perfect gift store for those looking to gift on xmas, birthdays and weddings. This place is also perfect for an event venue, like weddings, parties and corporate events. Because they do rent out their beautiful rustic space. Im just amazed with this place, and if people "still" can say there is nothing to do and look in Fresno, i guess I should just sing haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate , I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake shake it off, I shake it off.

The winter months here are for dried and candied fruit and nuts. The gifts are given all over Fresno. For good reason too. They are arranged beautifully and they are delicious. However let us not forget the other major commodity grown in central California. Oranges. Most of the oranges grown here are destined for eating. As opposed to the oranges grown in Florida which are used mainly for juicing. So, we bought a pretty large bag. The largest are currently sold for $15 for a 25# bag. We bought a 14# bag. That bag was $8.99. The oranges are large. Big as a man's fist. The rind is pretty thin. Most importantly, the fruit is sweet and tangy. They are juicy enough to require napkins or a bib. Here's to hoping this landmark business is around for a few more generations!

So cute, but hardly anything open besides food trucks. Hopefully when there's more open theyll offer more too

We love this place during Halloween. The kids usually love the hay rides and big barn, but they are understandably closed during Covid. Still fun with a small pumpkin patch area and you can still get yummy ice cream and produce in the other area. Friendly staff and great addition this year with the food trucks.
