puñado de frutas
Explanation:
“Parcela de frutales” es lo primero que se me ocurrió, pero con el contexto, entiendo que se refiere a (Random House Websters) 5. a small piece, scrap, or area of anything: a patch of ice on the road.
Con lo que “manojo de frutas” “ristra de frutas” o algo por el estilo... “montoncito de frutas” creo que sería lo adecuado. Quizá mejor, “puñado de frutas”.

Suerte.

a fruit patch is a small area dedicated to fruit growing but in the context of your game I don't know to what extent this is applicable

seems like they're offering the chance to buy 6 of these "huertas" but without more info on the game I can't really add anything more
