Premium Medjool dates, from the valley next door

Palm Springs sits at the top of the Coachella Valley, the desert that grows nearly all of America’s dates. Most dates sold in town still come through a packing house. Ours come from one farm. We hand-harvest in several passes as the fruit ripens, sort so only the largest fruit goes in the box, and keep the crop in our own cold room until your order ships.

“Premium” on a box of Medjool usually means size. Ours are jumbo: roughly 22 to 28 dates to the pound, thick, soft and caramel-sweet. Here is how to tell a good Medjool from a tired one.

Pitted Medjool dates in Palm Springs?

We sell our dates whole, with the pit in. A whole date stays moist and fresh far longer than a pitted one, and the pit comes out in about two seconds: press the date open with your thumb and lift it out. If a recipe needs pitted dates, pit them as you go. Here is the full comparison: pitted vs unpitted dates.

Organic Medjool dates in Palm Springs?

We are not USDA certified organic, and we do not call our dates organic. We grow in an isolated grove with clean aquifer water and compost-built soil, never biosolids, and we do not spray. Our dates are whole fruit, one ingredient, with nothing added or coated. Read how we grow and decide for yourself.

Date farms near Palm Springs, and where to buy dates

The nearest working date farms are across the I-10 in Desert Hot Springs and Sky Valley, and the big historic gardens with date shakes are down Highway 111 around Indio and Thermal; see our guide to date farms near Palm Springs and across the Coachella Valley. We are a working grove and an online store, so we do not take visitors.
