The best gifts for foodies are ingredients they can’t get at the store. Fresh jumbo Medjool dates straight from the farm are one of them: this season’s harvest, soft and glossy, nothing like the dry dates in a grocery aisle. We grow them on our family farm in Sky Valley, in California’s Coachella Valley, and ship them with your note on top.

Why a food lover will love this
- Fresh this season. Dates are harvested once a year. Ours go from the palm to a cold room to the box, not from a warehouse shelf.
- Two dates that cook differently. Soft, rich Medjool for stuffing, blending and caramel; firm, nutty Zahidi for chopping and baking. A good cook will want both. See which date for what.
- A grower’s story. Single farm, single valley, picked by the people who planted the palms. See our date farm.
- One ingredient. Whole fruit, nothing added, so it goes into anything.

Questions
How are these different from grocery-store dates?
Freshness and size. Ours are this season’s harvest, cold-stored and shipped from the farm, and we pack only our largest fruit. Most store dates are Deglet Noor, a firmer, drier variety. See Deglet Noor vs Medjool.
Can I include a note?
Yes. Type it in the gift note box at checkout and we write it on a card on top of the fruit. No prices go in the box.
How are the dates grown?
No sprays on the fruit, no synthetic fertilizer, no biosolids. Not certified organic. Here’s the full story.
