Rancho Notso Grande

We got a tour of the berry orchid (it was our first time here). They have a good variety of berries. We picked & tasted blueberries & strawberries as we wondered through the rows.

We've been here twice so far. We live in madera and it's worth the drive for us. They're friendly there and it's a fun experience. It's a fee entrance on Tuesdays.. all the other days it's 5 bucks each person over the age of 5. Berries are about $4 bucks a pound. It can add up quickly so be careful lol

This is a fantastic place! You can come here to pick your own berries, buy some of the wine they make here or other products as well. They even have blueberry vinegar and apparently a cobbler which I haven't tried yet. I was able to do the berry picking with my mom and it was so much fun. They have at least 6 or 7 different types of berries and they provide you with a map which shows you the different vine locations. You can even scan a code for an audio file that provides various information. The berries were so juicy and huge! I have had their blueberry, raspberry, peach, and boysenberry wines and they are all fantastic! (They offer complimentary wine tasting). My favorite is the blueberry; it is not too sweet and you really get that blueberry taste. I love supporting local businesses and this place has that mom and pop, part of the community kind of feel. I first found out about their wine from the Hanford Farmer's Market and their wine has won multiple awards from local wine competitions as well. If you want some wonderful berries or wine or both, you can't go wrong with this charming ranch!

Berry heaven! I was here two years ago and this place still lives up to my high marks. My family made some good memories again. There is a real abundance for several months. They do rotate through as different varities ripen at different times. I may drive back up from orange county gor the peaches in a month.

Our family had a great time picking berries. And the blackberry wine is also very good. Would definitely recommend this place.

Great little place to pick berries and other produce. Friendly staff. Great experience for kids.

My parents just moved in to Hanford this weekend and I visited them to also check their new neighborhood. My aunt wanted to do fruit picking so I looked up local fruit stands/orchards in the area. This farm was only 3 miles from where we live. I called ahead to make sure they were open. It was still pretty hot out even at 3 pm to go fruit picking. We decided to go a little after 6 pm. Farmer/owner John came out and gave us a private tour of the farm. He took us to the right directions, briefed us on which rows have the apache blackberry varieties. He gave us some tips on how to find the ripe ones including the blueberries. His farm is run on organic practices. There were also nectarine fruits that were $1.50/lb. He gave us a ride back with his golf cart and a complimentary wine tasting! Overall it was a fun experience. Price is way better than what you pay for in costco and you know it's great quality organic fruits. I suggest wearing long pants to avoid rashes from the thorny leaves.

This place was a great stop on our way up to Sequoia National Park. such a charming farm and a very helpful young lady made our experience great. We got to pick some blueberries even though it was the very end of the season. They were the best blueberries I've ever had, I think they were called something like moon or blue moon. We got to walk the grounds and they even provided nice cold water and paper cups which was a blessing in the scorching summer heat. We got to pick some amazing heirloom tomatoes. We went to the stand and got to taste all of the wines, vinegars, and jams. We bought some wine, jam, and pecans in shell to take home. What a charming place and a special stop on our journey

Berries were old and hiding on bottom were old mushy moldy ones. If I lived closer I'd bring them back

We recently moved to California and want to enjoy everything the area has to offer. Rancho Notso Grande is a true gem. You arrive, call the number and someone comes to give you little bags and explain how it all works. We were given a map of rows and off we went! Definitely wear a large brim hat and bring sunscreen. Wearing closed toes shoes is a good idea too! They don't use pesticides so you can eat as you go. I think my kids and I ate our weight in berries. We can't wait to go back!
