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!

June Drop
June Drop
Posted by Patti, the CotQueen on Jun 17th 2017
Green cots are falling off the trees......it's a sad sight to see....It's called the June Drop.
The apricots are growing and searching for room.....stronger apricots are actually pushing the little fellas off the limbs to make room for themselves.
This happens every year, but it's frightful to see part of your crop on the ground.
Now, who ordered all this hot weather? No No No.....we don't like it this HOT!
Blenheims don't like this kind of heat. We prefer the 80's, not the 100's.
.......Careful what you wish for....We have a few boxes picked for the Farmer's Markets on Sunday.Nothing in bulk yet. Nothing for jamming yet.
Prepare for the full blown harvest on June 26th.
