Simonian Farms

The Eggs are 5 star no question! The fruit/​veg can be a little hit/​miss, not always very ripe. Sweet corn has been disappointing, FRESNO State definitely has better. Fun place to go and check out the scenery as they have some very cool vintage farming/​harvesting equipment. Lots of snack varieties and they do have the Fresno State ice cream which is awesome! They also have a big selection of «unique» sodas and candies out in the barn.

I love everything about Simonian, specially the oranges and grapefruits. Towards the end of the season they are super cheap. I love that they have Fresno State wine and ice cream. I also like their promotions and special events on the weekends.

Went for the first time and what really sold me on this place was the red barn fun my son had in addition to the wine tasting I did with a great hostess! Left incredibly happy with wine and trinkets in tow looking forward to going back and their wine events! Wine is very cheap in terms on cost but taste is worth more. I’d give them 4 stars however the packaged fruit & nuts are WAY over priced in my mind based on similar businesses we’ve been to.

I love Simonian Farms! Its super cute, old fashioned and just a delight. I love the food, wine tasting samples and the old fashioned equipment they have outside. If its a fun and nastalgia trip you want then I would highly recommend Simonian Farms.

Very disappointed — it’s been 10 years since I’ve put up a Christmas tree. I purchased a 5 – 6 foot tree two weeks ago from Simonian Farms and it’s already dead

We love supporting local businesses including Simonians. For years, we ordered fruit and veggies from a valley co-​op. During the last couple of years, the quality and service really dropped. So, we ended our association with them and began to frequent Simonians. Great friendly local service!

This was my first time here at Simonian Farms, and the event for the evening was Girls Night Out. From the moment that my friends I and arrived, we were treated with such consideration and respect. Everyone was friendly and glad to see us there.
Inside the barn were many vendors selling candles, tupperware, make-​up, jewelry stuff, clothes, hats, and many other products. The inside of the barn was decorated with vintage signs, items, and wine. There also was a large saloon area where the bar was located. Outside had many tables, dancefloor, DJ, lights, and Maria’s Tacos. Those tacos had the tastiest aroma. The turnout was excellent; a full house, and each table was served a tray of goodies and delights.
Mrs. Simonian and her daughters were so accommodating and polite, and offered us wonderful service. I will be back soon to buy some fruit, wine, and pumpkins!

«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.

This place is a BLAST from the PAST.
Vintage everything all around you.
It’s like you are in a different world when you are here.
They serve Fresno State Ice Cream (and sell it in the store as well!)
They also have free popcorn. They have wine slushies. They also sell
salt water taffy and shaved ice.
This place has really fresh fruits, nuts, and vegetables that they grow themselves on their farm. I have yet to try any but they look very affordable. I even saw a fruit pack with a variety of different fruits for $ 2 for 2 lbs of it. Pretty inexpensive to me. They also offer old fashioned bottle sodas and canned/​jarred foods.
They have many vintage decorations, and is a good place to bring people to have a look see. I really love this place during the holidays though! They decorate it so cutely and also sell Christmas trees! :D CAN’T WAIT FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

It’s down the street from us and we stop here often, my son is addicted to the chocolate milk there and it saves to buy the whole gallon vs the half gallon. The fruits are good nice selection especially the plums. I recommend the yogurt pretzels as a must have item to get. So create ur list now. chocolate milk fruit and yogurt covered pretzels. Promise you will not be disappointed.

Enjoyed our visit to Simonian Farms this past March while touring the Blossom Trail. Just learned how to post pictures to Unilocal,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!

I live nearby in the Sunnyside area and I have mixed feelings about this place. The dried fruit, Chocolate and nuts are just repackaged bulk that you can get from Winco for a fraction of what you pay at Simonean Farms. They sometimes have good deals on oranges and grapefruits where you can get an 8 pound bag for less than 2 dollars. Most of the time the prices and quality of fresh fruit are similar to what you would find at Vons. The reasons to come here are for the selection of fruit wines, gift baskets and the attractions. Whenever I have a family or friend from out of town coming to visit, I find Simonean farms is perfect place to take them.

What a great place to stop by with your family. The place is decorated on the outside with lots of old farm equipment and industrial equipment from the 20s and 30s. This makes for lots of great picture. The fruit stand area is very large with a great selection of not only fruit but also nuts, candies, olives, and lots more. Then if you thought you were through you can walk over to the red barn which has a wine bar for the adults and a animated gun range, free popcorn, candy, and lot a more for the kids. We had a great day visiting this place and really enjoyed all the fresh produce they had to offer. We definitely will come back again.

cherries bought yesterday out of desperation. Got them home and found mold on about half of them as well as several rotten ones at the bottom. Never again will I allow my family to be disappointed by this place.

This place has every variety of dried or fresh fruit you can imagine. Prices were good, display was nice, and employees were very helpful. The place is also a museum of many eclectic collectibles. It was a good and fun stop.

Excellent produce and family fun atmosphere.
My kids and I love to come here because there is a huge barn with old fashioned candies, juke box and animated arcade.
Hayrides in the fall are so fun for the kids. I enjoy looking at all the antique farming equipment and handmade garden art. So much to enjoy while shopping for fresh food.

I have been wanting to stop by this place for a while, but never managed to get out here until a few weeks a go.
My girlfriend and I came in to check out the dried fruits and produce they had for sale. We ended up buying a few different kind of dried fruits, as well as a bag of corn. The dried fruits all seemed to be priced well, and the corn was also pretty cheap. However I noticed a lot of the other fresh produce was a lot more expensive than I would have expected.
They also had a cooler with some milk in glass bottles. As someone who loves getting Straus Creamery milk, I am interested to come back and see if this particular milk is as good as the Straus brand. (As we were leaving someone came back returning their glass bottles and had about a dozen, so I would say at least one person seems to like it!)
The ladies at the counter were nice, and the inside is decorated nicely with all sorts of antiques, and bicycles hanging from the ceiling. There is another building that has some sort of museum in it, but sadly it was closed when we were there, so we didn’t get a chance to check it out.

We came here in search of raw honey & fell in love with this farmers market! They have a little bit of everything that’s grown in the Central Valley & at all great pricing! Friendly staff too!

I come here weekly in the summer time. They have the best assortment of fresh summer berries that are so good I can no longer even consider buying them at the grocery store.
The store is sort of fun to wander around in as well.
I’m not really into dried fruit and things like that so I stick to their fresh produce, especially the fruit!

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.
