Ocracoke Fig Company strives to keep all of our products as simple and clean as possible. All figs are grown and picked by yours truly, Jason Wells, on Ocracoke Island. The fig preserves are a combination of several varieties of figs including sugar figs, brown turkey figs, Celeste figs, lemon figs, and Kadota figs. I do all the fig picking, chopping, cooking and canning of the products myself – sometimes with help from family and friends. The only ingredients in my preserves are fruit and sugar, and in some cases spices – but never any chemicals or preservatives. Our traditional figs have two ingredients – figs and sugar. The only ingredients in my other preserves is sugar and the additional type of fruit. About half of the figs are grown in my yard and I have permission to pick off of several other trees around the island. The other fruits and vegetables I use are farm sourced from my other town, Oxford, North Carolina. These include blueberries, strawberries, cucumbers, jalapenos, onions and tomatillos. In addition to my fig products, I currently have two varieties of pickles and an authentic Mexican tomatillo salsa, which was taught to me by my former employee, Gabriel Naverette. I hope you enjoy my products and I welcome constructive feedback.
