Family run apricot drying in Fremont area fades in Alameda County
In Fremont, a few families keep apricot drying alive as a traditional livelihood. The eightacre Betlc nchrt ranch uses smokehouse and sun drying to process fruit picked greenish and slightly under ripe. Dried fruit fetches 25 cents per pound, sold to Sunstreet in San Jose, with Moorpark and other varieties processed for markets. The industry has declined from 101 acres a decade ago to about 25 acres this year, remaining mainly a way of life for the remaining growers.
