   Fresh Figs: Fresh figs are available twice a year. The first crop is available from June through July; the second crop begins in early September and lasts through mid-October. The figs from the first crop are larger and more flavorful than those from the second. Figs are extremely perishable, so you should either use them soon after they're purchased or store them in the refrigerator for no more than two to three days.
