Medjool Dates Los Angeles — Bulk Cases & Premium Farm-Direct Boxes

Looking for Medjool dates in Los Angeles? You’re about three hours from the valley that grows nearly all of America’s dates — and we’re one of its farms. Desert Sun Dates is a family operation in Sky Valley, in the Coachella Valley east of Palm Springs: we grow jumbo Medjool and golden Zahidi, hand-harvest them each late summer, and ship them from our own cold room. For Los Angeles, that means farm-direct fruit, about two days door to door.

Bulk Medjool dates for Los Angeles businesses

LA markets, halal grocers, juice bars, caterers and restaurants buy our wholesale cases: 24 lb of jumbo Medjool at $228 with freight included — about $9.50/lb landed — with tier pricing to 100+ lb and golden Zahidi cases for kitchens and bakeries. See full trade terms on our wholesale page, order Net-60 through Faire, or call the farmer directly: (760) 501-1845. We’re taking Ramadan 2027 pre-orders now — a deposit locks today’s price.

Premium and jumbo Medjool — what that actually means

“Premium” on a date label should mean three things: size (jumbo grade), moisture (soft, glossy flesh — not shelf-dried), and freshness (this season’s crop, not warehouse inventory). Ours check all three because there’s no middle step: the fruit goes from our palms to cold storage to your door. Retail boxes run $19 for 1 lb to $118 for 12 lb, shipping always included — shop the sizes here.

Pitted or whole for LA kitchens?

We ship whole, pit-in, on purpose — the pit is nature’s freshness seal, and whole fruit arrives softer and keeps longer. Pitting takes ten seconds by hand (slit, squeeze, done); for volume prep, our date paste method covers pitting by the pound. Commercial kitchens that truly need pre-pitted product: call us and we’ll talk options honestly.

Where to find us in the LA area

We’re farm-direct by design — no LA storefront, no distributor shelf — which is exactly why the fruit costs less and tastes fresher. Order online any hour, or if you’re driving out toward Joshua Tree or Palm Springs, farm-gate pickup by appointment is a beautiful detour. Muslim communities across LA, Anaheim and Orange County: our halal and iftar dates guide covers your questions in depth.
