Over 25 feet filled with truffles, mammoth turtles, a variety of chocolates and sugar-free candies, fudge and chocolates.īates Nut Farm started with walnuts, but now purchases nuts from all over the world. You can?t help but feel like a kid at a candy counter. Our new old-fashioned candy counter will make a chocolate lover?s mouth water. A sample of our own homemade fudge is a must with over 10 different choices. Pick up and sample your way through the Bates store. Not only is it a feast for your eyes, but you can?t help but taste. Watch the peanut butter machine grind fresh peanuts into peanut butter. Farm antiques and tools line the walls of the Bates store that is filled with fresh, delicious nuts, candies, dried fruits, chocolates, fudge and gourmet delights. Or maybe, it?s the reminder of simpler times and those childhood farm memories. We don?t know exactly how the Bates business became so famous? Perhaps it?s the beautiful farm setting, the picnic and park areas, the farm zoo, or the casual, down home environment. Little did Gilbert know that 80 years later his family farm would provide joy and pleasure for 5 generations of his family, but also for the thousands of visitors from around the world that make that special trip to the Bates farm each year.
They raised their family of 5 boys, complete with geese, ducks, goats, horses, rabbits, sheep, tractor, plows and all sorts of old fashioned farm things. In 1921, Gilbert and Beatrice Bates moved their nutty family to the beautiful, picturesque oak filled valley of Valley Center, where they purchased the Walnut Slope Ranch.
