Dried Fruit FAQ

We do not currently have storage information available for our products.  Generally, storing food in the refrigerator will extend shelf life versus keeping it in your pantry.  Further, freezing items, such as our dried fruit, will extend that even further!

There is a fantastic website called, Still Tasty.  This site provides food storage information sourced from various U.S. government agencies, such as the USDA, state government agencies, as well as food and beverage companies.  They have compiled an extensive list of food and beverages where you can search up the best way to safely store your items.

We carefully wash, core and slice our fruit by hand, and simply lay them out on trays in a tray rack.  The trays are then stacked in our drying room, which is essentially just a small greenhouse adjacent to the kitchen.   We then let the California sun do it's work!   Our dried fruit is then immediately freeze dried and stored from its fresh state. We do not add sulfur to our fruit drying processes.  We are a small, family-run business and as such, our operation does not support an expensive drying system that uses sulfur dioxide, or other gases.
