Casa de Fruta
Casa de Fruta is a large roadside attraction located in an unincorporated area of Santa Clara County, just west of the Merced County line, in the Pacheco Valley of Northern California, along State Route 152.
==History==
The locale was known to American Indians and was first written about when Spanish missionaries discovered the artesian well there in the 1790s. The water source was popular during the Gold Rush.〔Myer, Chuck, report: ''Pacheco Past: A History of the Gateway to Santa Clara County'', (San Jose, California: Pioneers of Santa Clara County, 1992), page 3. This information is repeated in other sources.〕
Casa de Fruta was founded as an orchard by the Bisceglia brothers, who were Italian immigrants, in 1908.〔Myer (1992), page 13. Name of first owner is from this source.〕 Three teenaged grand-nephews of the first owner of the orchard opened a roadside cherry stand in 1943, and eventually sold other fruits. In 1967 the remaining two grand-nephews opened a restaurant, Casa de Coffee, gas station, Casa de Diesel, children's playground (including Casa de Choo-Choo, a scale model miniature train with a full size man for the engineer, for children to ride), and gift shop.
California State Route 152 passed in front of Case de Fruta as a two-lane highway for many years, but was widened to four lanes in 1992.〔.〕 The old alignment of the highway still exists as the Casa de Fruta Parkway, accessed via an exit from SR 152.
