This place is a hidden gem. Drive down the driveway to see a little farm with lots of animals, vast landscape hugged by the mountains. The cutest market, shop, and property. Great snack, food, chocolate, and gift selection. The staff is really friendly. It's a neighborhood spot for the community.– Iris Mata

Our Story
Bates Nut Farm started with walnuts, but now purchases nuts from all over the world. Pistachios, pecans, cashews, peanuts, pignolias, sunflower seeds and much more can be purchased on the farm. The nuts come raw, roasted, some spiced up and unsalted. To ensure quality and freshness we roast and package our nuts on the farm. The Bates family takes pride in providing a quality product at a fair price. It’s part of the tradition.
