What began as a family fruit stand has grown into a destination known for its fresh fruit, country-market charm and, of course, its incredible selection of pies. Their fruit pies, cobblers, cream pies and other baked goods have made Ikeda’s a favorite stop for both locals and travelers along Interstate 80.</span></p><p data-end="299" data-start="78" style="text-align: left;">
