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!

Stupid Questions that bug me:
What is a SlipPit? (read the description)Are they this year's crop? (plastered all over the site)What is an Orchard Blend? (again...asked and answered) Do you buy other apricots of other varieties and mix them in the Blend?(We don't touch anything but our own apricots)Are they all Blenheims? (OMG THAT'S ALL WE GROW) Can I get a [...]

Our 2023 season turned out remarkably well.Outstandingly surprising AMAZINGLY WELL.We watched our neighbors get about 10% yield from their orchards.We predicted 50%......but kept seeing more and more fruit.....and I'm talking big, jumbo, peach-sized fruit.Total yield: about 95%of last year's 210 fresh tons.Go figure......
