Meet the Maker: Just Figs

A burst of flavour in every jar.

Gaye Zappia, the heart and soul of Just Figs, turned her passion for figs into a thriving local business. With over 15 years of experience, she’s cultivated a deep understanding of these sweet fruits, transforming them into delectable treats.

From humble market stalls to the shelves of local stores, Gaye’s journey has been one of growth and dedication. Her Cabarita property is a fig lover’s paradise, home to 110 trees that yield a bounty of fresh figs each summer. Every day during harvest season, Gaye and her team handpick the ripe fruits, ensuring peak freshness.

Just Figs isn’t just about fresh figs. Gaye’s culinary creativity shines through in her range of fig-based products. From luscious jams and versatile pastes to rich syrups and savoury sauces, there’s something to tantalise every taste bud.

Gaye’s husband is her partner in this flavourful adventure, lending a hand in the harvesting process to guarantee that only the finest figs make it into their products. Together, they bring you the essence of the Mildura region, from tree to table.
