Figs
To say we’re a little in love with figs at Crooked Tail is to put things quite mildly:
We have over 70 different varieties originating from all around the world.
The Ancient Fig
Cultivated since ancient times and one of the most culturally-relevant fruits of our history, the fig has over 800 known varieties and are a favorite at the Crooked Tail Family Farm.
Learn how to eat a fresh fig, how to grow your own figs at home, and a bit of history of one of the earliest fruits humans consumed
Let us introduce you to a favorite fig educator of ours, Harvey from Figaholics. We’ve enjoyed watching Harvey’s take on the hundreds of fig varieties growing on his California farm, using his insight and guidance to help us cultivate our own home orchard:
