About ApricotKing
Since 1946, the Gonzales family has grown the rare and fabulous California Blenheim apricots. Grown on our Hollister ranch, we continue to be the farmer, pruner, dryer, packer, and seller of the vanishing Blenheim apricot. We produce the best tasting apricots in the world all "Home Grown in the Flavor Zone"!
In addition to our incredible dried apricots, be sure to discover our variety of nuts (walnuts, pistachios, almonds) and other dried fruits (peaches, pears, prunes, and more). For those who believe less is more, we have dark and delicious unsulfured dried apricots. And don't forget our sweet and tart selection of apricot jams and syrups as well as our decadent chocolate covered fruits and nuts. Simply delicious! Everything here on the ranch is organically grown.
Enjoy!
And we're off and running......

The Beautiful Blenheim season has begun......and of course, we're having a heat wave. ha!
Blenheims are picked in three separate pickings....the first is where you tip the trees (just the farthest-out
fruit) . The second pick is our big one....where all the fruit is ready at one time. T(hink of the
Kentucky Derby out there) The final pick is a clean up and inside the hidden parts of the tree type of
pick. We're just starting the second pick and it's just going so well.....thanks to our son Nick....also known
as the New Sheriff in Town.....his first year of taking full control.
Nick makes the 4th generation of ApricotKing farmers. Proud of you Son.
