The ApricotKing Orchards stand at the Downtown Los Altos Farmers’ Market sells not only apricots, but also other dried fruit and an array of nuts.
The Gonzales family operates ApricotKing, established in 1946 and based at their farm in Hollister.
They raise only the Blenheim variety of apricot, which is delicate and perishable.
The farm cuts and dries all of its apricots within two days of harvest, according to the ApricotKing website, and maintains low levels of sulfur in all of its apricots. Its produce is
pesticide-free.
Find ApricotKing’s stand in front of the Los Altos Rug Gallery on State Street 4-8 p.m. Thursdays through Oct. 13.
