Go Nuts for PistachioLand: Discovering the World’s Largest Pistachio

The largest pistachio in the world can be found at PistachioLand, the New Mexico farm owned by nut vendor Tom McGinn. This roadside attraction has become a popular tourist destination, drawing visitors from across the country.

Standing 30-feet tall, the enormous green nut was built using over five yards of concrete and 35 gallons of paint, giving it a realistic appearance. It is visible from the highway and, like many oversized roadside attractions, serves as a lure to the McGinn’s Pistachio Tree Ranch and Winery Gift Shop.

The gift shop offers a range of exotic, pistachio-based products for sale, including chili-chocolate pistachio brittle and homemade pistachio milkshakes. However, the most valuable experience is taking a “nutty” photo underneath the giant snack.

PistachioLand also offers a Motorized Farm Tour, taking visitors through the pistachio orchards and vineyards. During the 20-30 minute tour, visitors learn about the McGinn family’s farming history, as well as information about growing and harvesting pistachios and wine grapes.
