Harvesting the 1st crop takes about 5 days. The 2nd crop comes off at the end of July. Calimyrna figs also come off at the end of July. Harvesting Calimyrnas takes about 10-12 days. Calimyrnas are packed in clamshells and full trays.
Figs are a fragile fruit.
They are picked by hand. Gloves must be worn to protect each fig. Next, the figs are hand packed in the field. They are taken immediately to our cold storage to be cooled before shipping. They are loaded on to refrigerated trucks and shipped all over the US and Canada.
