casa de fruta

     

Casa e Fruta is a large roadside attraction located in Hollister, California, USA in the Pacheco Valley of Northern California, along State Route 152. Casa de Fruta was founded as an orchard by the Bisceglia brothers, who were Italian immigrants, in 1908. Three teenaged grand-nephews of the first owner of the orchard opened a roadside cherry stand in 1943, and eventually sold other fruits. In 1967 the remaining two grand-nephews opened a restaurant, Casa de Coffee, gas station, Casa de Diesel, children's playground (including Casa de Choo-Choo, a miniature train for children to ride), and gift shop. Casa de Fruta today includes an RV resort, inn, and wine shop. It is also the current home of the Northern California Renaissance Faire, which takes place in September and October each year.
