Does anyone know an online retailer for figs that has a good bulk price? We have figs at the grocery store but they are $6 for about a pint (maybe a little larger). I don't know if this is the normal price for figs everywhere but I thought maybe I could find them online for a little bit less. Thanks!

You can get figs at http://rawfromthefarm.com/SunDriedFruits.aspx

They are actually raw and have not been heated like the ones in most health food stores. Tell them Ama sent you!

Thanks Ama, I will check it out. I am looking for fresh figs though. Do they have those too? I guess I should have specified :) I don't really like the texture of most dried fruits, too dense.

I bought a bunch of figs this week of July 9th at Costco. They are not organic but they are delicious. They are from California. Untill then I was buying at my coop at 7.99 lb or from a grocery store at 6.99 lb. I live in Olympia Wa so most of the figs I buy are imported and only in season for a short time, so when I find them I pay whatever price they are asking. But when I found them at Costco I was on cloud 9. Hope this helps.

pinkrosebud - do you have to have a membership at Costco? There is one aobut 25 min from me but I am willing to make the drive. I love figs.
