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!

Spring Blossoms
Posted by Patti on Mar 25th 2025
We took a ride out in our 57 acre orchard last night.
The apricots are in full bloom.......and we
marvel at how beautiful and abundant this full
bloom is. All signs of being an abundant year for our Blenheim apricots.
We also have to note: we have the CLEANEST orchard anywhere.
57 acres on Union Road and not a weed in sight.
I'm impressed with my own orchard.

Craving those Chocolate Covered Almonds?They're back.....back in stock.Just the right balance on these I say.Plenty of Almond and not tooooooo chocolate covered.I always hate it when I get a mouth full of chocolate and cannot get to the nut !order away.
