Simonian Farms Market

008
  A little museum, antique collection and farm market all in one spot.  Baghdasar Simonian, an Armenian immigrant, founded the farm in 1901 and it remains in the Simonian family today. The farm produces over 150 crops of fruits, vegetables and nuts. Not much is in season now so the main products are citrus fruit, dried fruit, nuts and wine.

 The main museum building isn’t opened for the season yet but old tractors and equipment are on display outside. A wooden tower built from material scavenged from a Japanese interment camp stands as a memorial to the Japanese farmers who helped Baghdasar Simonian when he arrived California and started his farm. The store has antique bicycles hanging from the ceiling.

  Everything is accessible.

  1. Hi there! I continue to enjoy your blog! Can't remember if I have asked this before but how do your labels work? My blog is on blogger as well, but can't figure out how the labels work? Thanks, Robin

    1. The labels are pretty easy to do.If you use blogger to write new posts ( I use LiveWriter because I like the options) just look on the right side and the label setting is the first thing. Type in a label and it will be saved to use for other posts. If you use LiveWriter the labels are called categories and work the same as labels.
