Fresno Fruit Trail
A succulent golden peach, dripping juice as you bite into its downy flesh. Sun-warmed, plump blueberries, ready to be plucked from the bush. Bright oranges, peeping out from behind broad green leaves, each one a perfect globe of luscious citrus. If you've got a sweet tooth for fructus, then the Fresno Fruit Trail is for you. Located smack in the center of California, America's fruit basket, East Fresno County is an agricultural wonderland. The trail offers a self-guided tour to dozens of farms and markets, all offering the freshest possible fruit and fruit creations. Tour the farms. Pet the farm animals. Pick your own blackberries – or buy a quart ready to eat. Take home fruit products from homemade jam to Sun-Maid raisins, baked goods to scented soaps. If you're looking for a bird's eye view of the lovely patchwork of crops, you can even hire a hot-air balloon for a ride.California's spectacular weather makes for a long growing season, and the Fresno Fruit Trail is a gorgeous destination from spring, when the trees are painted with blossoms, through the harvests of summer and fall. Visit once, and you may be tempted to return in a month for another trip, with a whole new selection of produce perfectly ripened and ready to taste. Go ahead, eat a peach.

You could work for Fresno county with promotions like this- I am already planning a trip :)
fresh peaches warmed in the sun... sounds so good!
I thought you just copied this from the Fresno visitors center. Impressive. By the way is the Fresno Nut trail the one that runs from Jenn's to Jess......Just kidding! :)
That's funny Mike- ha ha- it is actually the cool kids trail that runs from Jess's house to mine but you don't know cause you haven't stopped by yet :)
I know it sounds like my writing but you found me out. I did put in a link and out it came. It was on MSN front page - a story about trails to take in the whole country. Fresno made the top 10. Whoo Hoo!
