The ApricotKing Story
Posted by Patti & Jenny & Nick Gonzales on Sep 9th 2025
The Gary Gonzales Family has been growing Blenheim Apricots
for almost 80 years. We call it: Home Grown in the Flavor Zone
930 Westside Road (since 1946)
Santa Nella (15 years),Los Viboras Road (25 years).
151 Westside Road (18 years)
Union Road (10 years)
Gary has bought and sold ranches throughout his career.
As a family, we've worked very, very hard to have a good life.
We've sold cots by the container, by the tractor trailers, by the bin, & by the bag.
We're proud to have re-invented ourselves over the past 80 years to be one
of "the last men standing"..... ApricotKing. Thank you for acknowledging our perseverance in growing the fabulous Blenheim Apricots....the best tasting apricot in the world.
The little grower that could........
