My fiancee snapped the photo of the pound fig, but I didn't even know this stall existed until the next day. Went back and no luck! Maybe next year =) Let me know if you know of one I missed

Still to collect:

- Pound
- "Jefferson's" Brown Turkey

Pokemon'd it:
- Sugar

Live Music is a big thing at Ocracoke FigFest. At least as important as the figs =)

I was reading about this festival and town just last week. Now I am determined to get my hands on a few of these historic trees- at least Pound and Blue. Thanks for sharing your experience.

You should. They are becoming endangered. Chester is getting too old to propagate, his knees you see? I didn't like the pound very much for fresh eating but its good for preserves. I have the sugar fig and will obtain others next year
