Awesome Casa de Fruta, Fresno

During my stay in Fresno, we spent a night in Four Points Hotel by Sheraton, 3737 N Blackstone , Fresno, CA 93726 Phone: 1 559-226-2200. Its room was very spacious, modern and nice, unfortunately we didn't have much time to stay longer. We stopped by at a chinese restaurant to have lunch, its garden were very beautiful with some sculpture stones and small pool surrounding with beautiful gardens, the gate also showed Chinese decoration dominant with red color.


On the journey by bus to San Francisco the driver brought us to stop by at traditional market, it's called Casa de Fruta. He said that the market sold directly from the farmer around the place, so the fruit was still fresh. They had a wonderful selection of fruits, dried fruits, nuts, pumpkins and so much more. I bought a full basket of big sweet strawberries, it only costs around US$2.99.

It's October, so there were many pumpkins at the yard, they put it with nice decoration. Everywhere you could find the orange pumpkins, there were a train and hays, some scarecrows adding the decoration. You also could take picture behind a farmer picture with a hole for your face and hand, as if you are the farmer. It's fun and beautiful. I thought the pumpkin in the yard were real, in fact it made of stone, the real one is in the stand to be sold. They also displayed grapes, jam (home made), oranges, etc. on an old truck inside the store.

There was also Casa de Wine which sold wine, you could taste the wine before you bought it. There was a fish pool beside the store, also a playing ground near to the pool for the children. All the part of this place called "Casa de ...", you could also find Casa de Choo Choo which sells chocolate. The staff was usually so friendly, chatty, charming and fun. Great to get out from the bus and stretch our legs on the long drive to SF from Las Vegas.
