For those that have attended. What does the Staten Island Fig Festival mean to you?! Enjoy!


That was awesome. Thank you for posting. I'm going to try and take some advice from there and not add any new ones to my wish list. Although Angelo's dark and yellow long neck and corinth sound very nice. :).

Awesome video and it looks like a wonderful event!

Nice job on the video Ross! It's nice to hear what everyone had to say. Wish we had something like this from past events. Thank you for putting it together!

SI fig fest was a good time.  Expanded my collection by 10 trees, but more importantly, met good people who were fun to talk to and compare experiences with.  Definitely see myself going every year, and glad I was able to attend.

It was nice meeting you Mike. Glad I came as well.

We don't have the weather of the South or West and it is more challenging to grow figs here in the Northeast.....but we have a great group of friends that can get together on Staten Island and at Bass's each year and that is the awesome part.
I think we get together more than any other group of fig nuts out there.
That is the best part!

Couldn't agree more coop!

Had a blast meeting old friends from bass' fest and meeting new people in Staten Island. Amazing group of people. Thanks again Ross for your hard work in making this video.

It's good to see fig folks coming together!

Notice, most folks love the taste of Smith! Smith is my work horse fig. I call it my ugly black Maderia ! And Texas Ba1 is not far behind!

Antonio Black is another great tasting fig I like.
