I came across a very interesting and educational video about fig production and processing in California.  (I don't think that this has been posted yet)     http://valleypbs.org/valleysgold/episode-5-figs/    It starts out with a large fig grower called the Specialty Crop Company then moves to a processing plant.

Thanks for the correction on the link!   I forgot to mention that there are some interesting bits of history related to fig growing in California contained in the presentation.

Great show! Thank You...

Does anyone here grow the Sierra fig?  If so, what are your thoughts?

This was a really interesting program.  Thanks for sharing it!
