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!

"Blenheims have a secret: Unlike most fruit, they’re even better dried."Quote from Dry & Mighty by Ruth Reichl
Dry & Mighty
We're mentioned in TOWN & COUNTRY magazine.Look for us on page 46 of the newly released October 2019 issue.Feature writer Ruth Reichl loves our Blenheims and wanted to do a story on what makes ours so delicious. I give credit to the ApricotKing himself,& to God for making the best apricots in the world.
