:: Last Few Days For Fresh Apricots

Sunday, July 18th, will be the last day to get fresh Blenheim apricots! Unusually cool weather has caused our fruit to stop growing and beg to come off the trees....still green on the shoulders and ripe on the bottom. Everything will be picked by this Sunday! Don't miss out on the fabulous taste of fresh Blenheims!

Call to reserve your cases. Available only for local pickup or pickup at Farmer's Markets. They truly are the best tasting apricots in the world!

Don't forget our newly harvested delicious dried cots available along with tasty jams and syrups. Got a sweet tooth? You should try our delicious Apricot Puddles (dried apricots and caramel covered in rich chocolate).

Welcome to 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...

Home Grown in the Flavor Zone!

Check out our killer gourmet slip-pits (moist whole apricots without the pit). Our slab apricots continue to be our most popular item, perfect for snacking while our unsulphured apricots are perfect for those who believe less is more. Our walnuts and almonds are outstanding. Our jams and syrups are superb and our gift packs and chocolate apricots are a perfect choice for gift giving. Everything is organically grown.
