Food Review: Neufeld Farms Raisins
Located near Petaluma, California, Neufeld Farms strives for perfection in every bite of fruit that they produce.
Neufeld Farms was started in 1950 by Charles Neufeld in Durbin, California. The farm moved to its current location in Kingsburg, California in 1958.
Starting out with vegetable and fiber crops, the farm then expanded in 1980 to include fruit crops which consist of peaches, plums, pluots, nectarines, and grapes.
The farm now produces organically dried fruits in their facility in Petaluma, CA.
The fruits do not include any pesticide residues. Thorough testing is done to ensure that all fruit is absolutely pesticide free.
My family and I tried the following items produced by the farm: Zante currants, jumbo Thompson raisins, jumbo golden princess raisins, and the flame golden raisin.
We really enjoyed all of the varieties we tasted. The jumbo varieties are huge!…no rinky-dink little raisins here! Wonderful, fruity taste in every bite. In our household the jumbo Thompson won the first place vote for awesome taste, with the Zante currants running a very close second…but truly all of the varieties are winners in our book. It is so very nice to enjoy a food item that you can tell with every bite, attention to product quality and taste is a very important aspect of the finished product. We now know without a doubt where our raisins will be purchased from for our pantry.
Products produced by the farm include dried raisins in four different varieties: flame golden, jumbo golden princess, jumbo Thompson, regular sun-dried, and regular golden. They also produce dried Zante currants, apple rings, dried bing cherries, dried red pluots, dried white peaches, dried white nectarines, and extra fancy jumbo apricots.
Raisins are packed in 30 lb. boxes. Perfect for adding to your pantry bulk products. There are so many different ways that dried fruits can be used in your diet. Raisins can be added to your pancakes, oatmeal, homemade breads, even to stews and sauces, or of course eaten as is. Did you know? It takes approximately 4 1/2 pounds of grapes to create 1 pound of raisins. So dollar for dollar you are actually winding up with more product for your money.

Jumbo golden princess- $2/lb.
