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!

Rounding third and heading towards Home!

We are more than 70% through the harvest......or as I like to call it "rounding third base and headin' towards home".
Everything's ready, everything's being picked, and by Thursday it will all be cut. An abundant harvest.
Had it not been for the critical heat spell, we would have been on easy street. But the 80 degree weather that the Blenheims love took a swing into the 102 area and stayed that way for 5 days. Ahhhh......we got
hosed by the heat. A little sunburned never hurt nobody.......we're damaged, but still flavorful.
