Bertuccio’s Fruit Stand

This spot was okay, the cherries were small but the plums and corn were a good price. They were not very polite but nit rude. They didn’t mske you feel welcome. They had sone cool knick knacks but I wont stop there agsin booo booo

We managed to get ourselves lost. Had to turn around and backtrack 13 miles. But we passed by here twice, and after seeing it for the second time, and since I was driving, it was a no brainer. Cute and quaint little Bertuccio’s Market made me do it. Stop I mean.
Hollister. This area is so rural, so agricultural, so out of the way, so in touch with local produce. Bertuccio’s had to be special from the looks of things. Outside the market were displayed dried corn stalks, big and little pumpkins of many colors, and of course, the obligatory scarecrows. How can you not resist?
Not at all a market for the purchase of ordinary goods. They were more of a tiny Casa de Fruita. Inside were quaint displays of dried fruits, nuts, veggie chips, custom jams, salsas, olive oils, and gift baskets. All high priced but extra special… yummy gourmet foods.
Yes, they have some fresh local fruits and vegetables, but the big draw for me was to get some of those local, food items with custom labels. I came away with a bag of dried carrot chips, a bag of dried mixed vegetable chips, apricot preserves, raspberry jam, and slab apricots, and wishing I could get more.
This is a fun little stop.

Small market that has locally grown and produced agricultural products.
Colored farm fresh eggs for under $ 5/​dozen, and a small fresh produce section, make this a great little hidden treasure.
The dry goods section, has locally produced honey, pastas, sauces, bbq rubs, local olive oils, wines, dried flowers & herbs, and gift items.
Super friendly and they can assemble your purchases into beautiful gift baskets for as small charge — even if you have your own basket!

I was lured in by the farm fresh produce sign. It is a 3’x8’ section of produce. When I asked if they had corn on the cob the girl stared blankly at me and said, I don’t know, I just got here. I think I saw somewhere they ranked number 1 for fruitstands… Disappointed!!!

I go here at least once a week if not three more times. It is a warm friendly store. I buy everything from salsas, to fresh eggs and milk, to fresh produce. My kids love their banana chips and corn nuts. I have heard people complain that their prices are too high but they are right on. You have to remember you are buying local and fresh. Their foods don’t have perservatives and don’t stay on the shelves for years at a time because they are fresh.
The staff is friendly and helpful. I can go in and say what I am having for dinner and they help reccomend a veggie to go with it!!!
