Shopping for parents or grandparents who say they “don’t need anything”? Send them something they’ll actually enjoy and finish: a box of fresh Medjool dates from our family farm in Sky Valley, California. Soft, sweet, easy to eat, and a lot of grandparents grew up with them. We pack the box ourselves, put your note on top, and ship it with shipping included to the lower 48.

Why dates are a good gift for older parents and grandparents
- Soft and easy to eat. Medjool dates are tender enough that nobody has to fight with them.
- A treat without being candy. One ingredient, no added sugar, nothing artificial. They taste like caramel.
- They keep for months. In the fridge they stay good for a long time, so a big box never goes to waste. See our storage guide.
- A taste of home for many families. For families from the Middle East, South Asia and North Africa, a box of dates is a familiar, meaningful gift. See khajoor.
- Something from a real farm. Grown, picked and packed by our family in California’s Coachella Valley. That story is part of the gift. See our date farm.

Questions
How long will the dates last once they arrive?
Up to about 3 months in a cool pantry, up to a year in the fridge, and longer frozen.
Are they pitted?
No, they’re whole with the pit in, which keeps them fresher and softer. The pit slides out easily. See pitted vs unpitted.
Are they organic?
Not certified organic. Here’s how we grow them: no sprays on the fruit, no synthetic fertilizer.
