Monticello Farm & Garden Fig Preserves

Thomas Jefferson's passion for figs helped propagate this variety in Virginia and possibly elsewhere in the United States. In 1809, Jefferson wrote to Dr. William Thornton, a close friend and architect of the Capitol in Washington D.C.:  "I will take some occasion of sending you some cuttings of the Marseilles fig, which I brought from France with me, & is unquestionably superior to any fig I have ever seen." 

Our small batch fig preserves are made locally with figs harvested from Monticello.
