From Turkey.  Really quite good.  Christmas special I guess.

I saw some organic figs at the grocery store today and was thinking figs have got to be one of the easier fruits to grow organically, in terms of fertilizer needs, and potential pest issues.  Am I right?

Yep.

Though I like fresh figs much better, I love nibbling on dried ones too.

I like the fresh ones better too.  Dried and frozen figs just extend the season of eating. Nutsonline is good.

To most organic gardeners "Organic" just means fertilized with things that were once alive and no toxic or synthetic substances like pesticides, fungicides etc.

I was specifically looking for dried figs.

At that time, I could not find any in local stores!

I ended up buying about 6 lbs total (different variates),

was satisfied, and I will again buy from them in the future...

BTW,

I think that their very dry (Uzbekistan) 'Wild Mountain Baby Figs'

are very similar to (maybe same as?) the (Iranian) 'Shirazi Figs'.

I have been a loyal patron of Nutsonline.com for more than a year.  Have an order I just unpacked a few days ago.  They have great prices, great products, rapid shipping AND they have a program to Support Our Troops.  You can purchase a NutsForTroops package for $30 and it will be sent to a "waiting" soldier that is currently deployed.  Or if you have a particular soldier you would like it sent to, they will ship it.  I send packages to my son quite often.
   I am quite addicted to their almond flour and sweet apricot kernels, and dried fruits.
