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!
Real and uncensored reviews.

My phone rings constantly with people wanting to buy overripe apricots.
It's too early people.
After July 1, and with all this heat, there will be plenty of overripe, soft, jamming cots.
See us at the Farmer's Markets on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturdays, or Sundays.

June Drop
It's called June Drop because apricots fall on the ground in June.It's natures way of pushing the frut along .....as the apricots grow bigger.....they pushthe little fellas off the tree.....thus creating June Drop.Blenheims are still too green to pick...but they're coming along.Changing my ETA to June 30.
July 1......they'll be ready.
My phone rings constantly with the following questions:Do you have any fresh Blenheims?Are they ready?Can I go to the ranch and pick my own.?Answer: NO Not ready No, you cannot maneuver an 11 foot ladder and pick your own.
We're having a Heat Waaaave!
Whew it's hot.....triple digits for the week....we'll hold onto order that includechocolates until we figure out the logistics.......be patient.....
