Bates Nut Farm is located in the beautiful picturesque oak filled valley of Valley Center, California. Bates Nut Farm started out as a walnut farm, but now sells a variety of nuts from all over the world and has become well-known for its special events held throughout the year on the 100-acre ranch. This past Thanksgiving weekend included over 100 artisans selling a variety of American handmade crafts and fine art, with each day having live music and free hayride with Santa.
