Reviews of Dowling Fruit Orchard (Fruit Store)

Lorraine martinez

Always the best in produce

Wendy Hewitt

I love Dowling Fruit Orchard. Their prices on vegetables and fruits are very reasonable. Always great service.

Rudolph Rodriguez

French fruits been going there for years

MRapunzel Smiles

While some prices can be a little high, most seasonal vegetables and fruits are priced wonderfully, and the quality just can't be beat. Strawberries that TASTE like strawberries, tomatoes that taste like a fresh summer day, cilantro that will make your salsa pop with flavor, avocadoes that are ripe and creamy, and lettuce that tastes deliciously flavorful. There are many, many varieties of bulk dry goods as well, lentils, beans, dried peas, oats, flours, seeds and nuts, and dozens of different candies. This is a great place for pitas and whole grain and specialty breads, and they also have sugar free offerings. Stop in and give them a try! Another tip: It is easiest to visit them when going eastbound on the 60 due to traffic. Friendly staff, prices clearly marked, and a clean fresh store awaits you!

Teresa Garcia

Great prices, fresh and good looking produce. People very friendly. Our new go to stop on the way south

Claudia Saldana

Always quality product, hard to find items, great selection and customer service!

Jaret Sullivan

Small selection of reasonably priced fresh produce and fun sauces, jams, and jellies from local producers as well as other areas. There are lots of freshly prepared snacks, sweets, dried fruits and other things that you can enjoy. A fun stop when you're traveling through or nearby.

Tina Miller

Love this place, we stop everytime we go over the 60. Love the oatmeal and the veggies are always amazing.

Cristi Zbella

One of my favorite places to stop & shop for fresh fruits and vegetables, plus so much more - chocolates, rice blends, oats, grains, salad dressings, breads... they really have a huge variety of local foods for a small roadside store. I ALWAYS be sure to stop here when I travel to/from AZ-CA.

One of the.few remaining farm stand produce markets around. Reminds me of my childhood when we all climbed into Uncle Loren's new Studebaker sedan and went for a "ride" to buy produce directly from the grower. Great quality and price.

Love this place. Only one of a very few fruit stands still open..some thinga are a bit pricy. But they have a great variety. Staff friendly. Worst thing about this place is that it is not easily accessible..i pass in the opppsite direction when its open. Its closed coming back the other direction

Reasonably priced local fruits & veggies plus salsas, salad dressings, stuffed olives, candies, dried fruit, and trail mixes. Its only safe to get in and out of while heading south/east towards Palm Springs. (Crossing the highway the other direction is asking for an accident.)

Overpriced selling packaged nuts and other edibles not grown on their own orchard. Beware travellers, its not the real thing !

Rick yeah

Great prices, great customer service.

Rene Rodriguez

Larg selection of different fruits and veggies. I personally stop in for some chile mango bags and dried banana chips. I'm a trucker and it's hard finding places with easy on and off the highway. This place is perfect and also has a small parking area off to the side about 100 ft away.

1Mate M.B.

Fresh, wide variety of fruits. So many times I have driven past but never (maybe once, 10 years ago) stopped in to take a longer look around. For the price and some fruits, vegetables, and different snacks I haven't seen in a while, excellent place!!

We broke down on the way to palm dessert, the owners were so helpful and we were able to get back on the road, so now we stop every time we go by. Very reasonable prices, lots of fruits and candies.

DanielCervantes Cervantes

Only place I can find cranberry beans,great place to shop for the little things you need

Huvants Tuneau

Nice place to stop and find fresh fruits and vegetables plus lots of uncommon nuts, dried fruit and other goodies, in particular varieties of dates. Huge ripe strawberries at half the price of grocery stores. Also locally produced pickles, hot sauces and such. Only gripe is I wish they'd make more of an effort to have organic produce.

November Seven

I grew up on a farm with fresh fruits and vegetables, delightful preservatives in glass jars. It's not the Foothills of North Carolina but it is like wondrous window into my childhood, the Lil' Old Country Store where everything is a special treat.

Rod Ressell

Fresh fruit, great prices! I've been going to this fruit stand for over 35 years, and it's pretty great. Just be cautious pulling in and out of the place, it's very near a freeway transition, so there is a steady stream of fast, aggressive traffic to avoid.

Juanita Yanez

Quiet beautiful scenery. The kids young and old will Enjoy it.

Clifford Taft

I love it

Miss Kelli

Always great prodyce, dried fruit and nuts and of course....candy! The fruit us always so delicious - and it doesn't spoil in 3 days! I only wish I drove past more often. The selection is varied enough you could get all of your produce here...at a great price!
