Bulk Figs

Locally grown in the central valley, we offer both California mission and golden figs. Our California mission figs are available as conventional or organic which are certified by the State of California and the CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers) organization.

Golden Figs are composed of several varieties of figs including Adriatic, Tena, and Sierra Fig varieties that all originated in Europe and the Middle east. These varieties, like all figs grown in California, do not require pollination (caprification). Amber-colored, sweet and milder in flavor that Mission Figs, these figs have a rich fig flavor that comes through in finished products. Available in 5 and 30 pound cases; as natural (no preservatives) or with potassium sorbate added as a preservative and sodium dioxide added as a color preserver.

The Mission Fig variety represents most of the California dried fig crop. They were the first figs introduced to California and were brought in by Franciscan missionaries, starting with the founding of Mission San Diego in 1769. The dark-skinned, pink-fleshed Mission fig was the only kind grown here until the 1850s, when settlers brought other varieties from the East Coast and Europe. The fruit has a dark purple color and a very soft, thin skin. They have a sweet, robust fig flavor and firm texture. Like all other California Figs, Mission Figs do not need caprification (pollination). There are two crops per season, one maturing in late June on last year's branches, and a second in late July through September. Available in 5 and 30 pound cases; as natural (no preservatives) or with potassium sorbate added as a preservative.
