I appear to be in a fig-free zone!

Are you seeking fresh or dried figs? The fresh fig season is pretty much over. Iovine's and the Fair Food Farmstand at the Reading Terminal Market carry them in season. The Farmstand has local figs, Iovine's are from California. I didn't notice any fresh figs at Iovine's this morning, though I wasn't looking for them. Dried figs can be found at almost any supermarket or produce store, as well as stores like Whole Foods.
