Francisco’s Fruits

2016 Out West, California, Road Trip

This morning is a good time to move on. The KOA is packed with weekend revelers including some who believe that the ban on campfires doesn’t apply to them. And the forecast is for red flag conditions, hot, dry, and windy. So we are traveling east through the fertile Santa Clara Valley marveling at the lush orchards and fields. Noticing farm stands offering oranges, avocados, pistachios, and more. We pulled into Francisco’s Fruits just outside of Fillmore and got some goodies for ourselves. Local tomatoes, strawberries, Asian pears, and dried apples, strawberries, vegetable chips, and pistachios. We’re in snacking heaven!
