Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Madera, CA

Madera

Home Grown Cellars presses its own pomegranates into 100% juice on-site in Madera, then sells it alongside local wines and other artisanal goods in a small retail shop. The pomegranate juice is the anchor product — no additives, straight from locally grown fruit. It's a small operation built around one crop rather than a full winery, and the shop doubles as a stop for regional gift items.

Beyond its address on Avenue 25, little independent detail about hours or contact is published online — worth a call ahead before visiting.

Mariposa

A seasonal pumpkin patch has operated along Highway 140 in Mariposa County, offering a child-sized hay-bale maze, pony rides, and a snack stand during past pumpkin seasons. Recent listings suggest it may no longer be running — confirm before planning a visit.

Planada

Vista Ranch and Cellars farms 20 acres on Highway 140 between Merced and Yosemite, with five acres planted to Cabernet, Primitivo, and Pinot Noir. The tasting room sits inside a 1910 farmhouse, and the grounds also host an event center and picnic area. It's a working stop on the road to the park rather than a standalone winery.

Fresno

Two sisters started this Fresno apricot patch after watching the trees ripen from their windows during a medical recovery, and the u-pick stand on West Lincoln Avenue still runs on that same small scale. The season is short, usually opening around Memorial Day for a week to ten days, cash only.

Clovis

BZ Bodies has kept its own hives in California's Central Valley since 2005, bottling raw honey and pollen without buying in from outside beekeepers. The family built the business around a simple rule: if it didn't come from their bees, they don't sell it. Products move through their Clovis pickup point and online store rather than a storefront.

Merced

Merced Fruit Barn is a family-owned roadside market on Highway 140, the main route into Yosemite from Merced, selling local produce, dried fruit and nuts, ice cream, and deli sandwiches. The property also keeps barnyard animals and exotic birds for visitors to walk through, plus picnic tables for anyone stopping mid-drive. It functions as much as a rest stop for park-bound travelers as it does a farm market for locals.

Fresno

Sunshine's Farm is on South Temperance Avenue in Fresno, inside the San Joaquin Valley's most productive stretch of farmland. Fresno County leads the nation in total agricultural production, and small family operations here typically grow stone fruit, citrus, or row crops depending on the parcel.
