Day 24 of 365 Things to do in Stockton: The Fruit Bowl
Posted in 365 Things to do in Stockton, Ca, 95215 on April 21st, 2010 by keebler – View CommentsOften times I get a feeling that I need to get out of the city. You know those times. On those days, I suggest you take the short trip out to the Fruit Bowl.
The fruit bowl is a farm market located on East Waterloo road. They serve freshly picked produce, yummy baked goods, nuts, jams, local honey and local olive oils. After speaking with Ralph and Denene, part owners of the Fruit bowl, the cherry harvest should began around the middle of May, and peaches shortly thereafter in the beginning of June. This family run business has been serving the freshest produce for over 60+ years.
As if the produce wasn’t enough, the fruit bowl specialize in fruit pies, using the fruit right off their orchards. After taking one step into the bake shop I was hooked. I bought a macaroon and a lemon bar and they were delicious. The other pastries, cookies, muffins or biscotti, looked fabulous too, and you can enjoy them with a cup of our wonderful Italian imported coffee, latte, mocha, or hot cocoa.
In the summertime, the Fruit Bowl has olive oil tastings. Representatives from various olive oil companies are on hand to discuss their products, offer tastings and food pairing samples, and answer questions. Another popular event is happens near the end of summer; “Art Comes to the Orchard” exhibit and sale. Check out their events page for all the details.
