Looking for a nutty experience on your way to White Sands National Park? Then be sure to stop at PistachioLand: Pistachio Tree Ranch and Arena Blanca Winery to take photos with this large concrete nut, take a tour of the groves, enjoy some tasty pistachio ice cream and explore their immensely large gift shop and sample bar.

Upon spotting this giant tree nut, my friend immediately right turned into their large lot. This totem to the founder of the ranch was built as a memorial and way to draw tourist in like me.

Inside the shop there are shelves of pistachios roasted in countless flavors and in bags ranging from snack size from massive 10lb bulk bags! And, you definitely can try before you buy at their sample bar.

TIP: Arrive before 5 pm and be sure to try the pistachio land ice cream while on tour.
