Loretelli Farms

I ALWAYS stop here when I am in the Modesto area, and there is a good reason — fresh, local, and fantastic food! The product is always fantastic, and they also offer some well crafted pies, candies, jams and other local goodies. I always have to get a bottle of the Vidalia Onion Salad Dressing that they offer. The staff is always knowledgeable, helpful and enthusiastic about their produce. This is the kind of stand that even if you aren’t planning on getting something you always come away with a few bags.

Love loretelli’s! Delicious produce and Bill and Billy are the so nice. Glad to have this local produce stand.

Came here to get some monster white peaches and some grapes. The grapes and peaches were $ 3 each. They came in a bag you can just pick up and buy and the grapes were super sweet. I haven’t had the peaches yet but based on their size and the triple digit heat I would think they would be pretty good.

Fantastic little find on our way back to Stockton. The two young men there were very helpful and polite. The prices were a great deal, for the amount you are getting.
Now, you must try the nectarine/​plum fruit. We regret getting just one, because it was juicy and sweet, not overly sweet though. Will definitely have to take a drive back out there, because my strawberries were delicious too.

The big overweight bald guy was at the cash register was rude. He said that my friends basket had too many tomatoes in it, like she was stealing extra tomatoes. He needs to speak with his help in private.

Always great fruit. They have two to three staffers always checking on the quality of fruit that they display. I have not seen a mushy or overripe fruit with flies yet. They keep everything fresh off the trees or out of their cold storage. Always my go to place for local fruit. So sad when I decide to try other stands because of my driving route. Btw you can tell how good it is. They seem to always have a short line of people and everyone seems to make their sections quick and get out. They must be moving a ton of fruit all day long. Again I think that’s why the selection is so good.

I’ve passed this location everyday on my way to work. I had a day off today so I decided to stop in and see what they had to offer. It was very busy and I can understand why! The prices are very reasonable and the produce looks super fresh. In addition to the produce, they have honey, baked goods, almonds, and flowers.
I purchased way more than I intended to, but everything looked and smelled amazing. I got 3 packs of strawberries, a box of boysenberries, a bag of plums, a bag of apricots, and a basket of jalapeño peppers. All of this only set me back about $ 15. I couldn’t wait to try the boysenberries, I have never had them before. They were good, but the strawberries! Probably the best I’ve ever had. I’m not ashamed to say some of them didn’t make it home.
To be honest, I had read the Unilocal!reviews and was worried from all the reviews that mentioned bad customer service. My first experience there was a great one. The staff was friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to check this place out. Support your local farmers!

I’ve been coming here for 5 years. Ever since my Great-​Grandmother passed, I felt that this needed to be the fruit stand to go to since this was hers. We always get our Christmas tree here and whenever I’m in the area I stop by and get some delicious fruit or veggies. I’ve never had anyone be rude to me or treat me badly. It’s sad that other’s have.
I’ve even purchased bread here and cookies and they have always been fresh and very flavorful. I can’t wait to go again to see what new fresh produce is making it’s way to the stands.

This aggression will not (fruit) stand!
We went to buy corn, strawberries, nectarines and snacks for visitors. The produce was very nice.
Then the downside… the man at the register was super grumpy with us. I know that it’s a busy place and perhaps people have a lot of strange requests and questions. But we were just trying to pay and go. There are many produce stands in Modesto, I feel no need to deal with hostile nectarine purchases.

I love love Loretelli Farms. I wait for it every year to open! Fresh produce and friendly people! I love the bread, strawberries, and blueberries!!! I’m going there again today! Oh also the cucumbers, you can get a bag full for $ 2.00 Awesomenesss:)

we just heard about this stand this summer. we’ve already been there a few times, as their fruit and vegetables are outstanding. we got some fresh baked ciabatta bread that was amazing. they also have portuguese cookies that my kids loved. this stand had it all… nuts, pies, jams, olives, fresh fruit and vegetables. even though it’s out of our way to go there, we will definitely be regulars.

we went there last week to buy fresh produce and had a bizarre experience. we were buying corn on the cob. we picked out 12 corn just barely peeling back the tips. then we noticed a bin to shuck the corn, proceeded to do this. Out of nowhere the son of the cashier came over and we noticed he was shucking some corns, thinking he was helping out another customer. apparently he took the 4 corn he shucked to the cashier and told him that we (4 of us shopping) ladies dumped the shuck corns back into the bin. The cashier told us they can’t sell the corn and put it in our bag to pay. which we didn’t mind since it was only $ 1.25! I was continuing to pick out 8 corn, which I didn’t shuck since i wasnt cooking it that nite. I told him we didn’t do it, he insisted he saw us! we’ve been shopping there for many years since they’ve been on Coffee Rd. Now we will never go back there! There are plenty of other farms with better customer service. We really felt harassed by this man!

I love Loretelli Farms. They are by far the best fruit stand in Modesto. Their prices are always reasonable and lower than other stands. Their produce is usually good, unless you get there after the summer when it starts to look a little beat up.
The only complaint I have is with some of the staff. Nearly every time I’ve been there and have looked through the baskets to make sure nothing is rotted or nasty looking (which is what most people check for, right?) I get asked if something is wrong and told that I can just dump the stuff into a bag and leave the basket. When I mention why I’m looking through, they give a look like I’m stupid and wasting their time or holding up some kind of line.
Otherwise, this is a great place and I’d recommend it to anyone that asked.

The elder Mr Loretelli is an incredibly nice fellow, and his business is one that I will continue to frequent.
His son however is less than amicable.
Today while I was there, I tried to ask him (the son) a question about a particular fruit and he didn’t respond. I said excuse me a little louder and he looked at me with a look that told me that he heard me the first time and chose to ignore me.
After a pregnant pause he said «yes»?
I asked if they had a particular fruit in the cold box and he replied «whats wrong with whats out there», and started walking over.
I replied that it was hot. he picked one up from the back of the counter where I couldn’t reach and handed it to me and asked if it was ok, and I replied yes, he took it back, dropped it on the counter and walked off.
I said I can’t reach that, and he ignored me.
a moment later as I was still standing there, befuddled, he said there’ll be more in three days.
I guess he doesn’t need my business.

This is one of the many fruit stands in and around Modesto. This one has been at this address since 2008. They moved from their old location on 4100 Coffee Road.
You can count on all of there produce to be fresh. Especially their nectarines and peaches white or yellow and of course very sweet and juicy. Got 5 nectarines and 5 peaches along with 4 ears of sweet corn for only $ 6.00.
There is plenty of parking space. You might want to keep your windows closed due to all the dust from cars coming and going.
Also the people there are very friendly and will help you find something if for some reason you don’t see what you want.
