Grown Right in Your Extended Backyard

Our farm sits in Sky Valley at the eastern edge of California’s Coachella Valley — the region responsible for over 95% of all dates grown in the United States. The extreme desert heat (regularly over 110°F in summer) and low humidity create conditions that are impossible to replicate anywhere else in the country.

When you order from Sparks, you’re getting dates from one of the closest major farms to you that grows premium Medjool, Zahidi, and Barhi dates.

Our Varieties

Medjool Dates (2 lb – 10 lb): Jumbo, soft, and deeply sweet with a natural caramel richness. Flash-frozen at harvest. Our most popular variety by far.

Zahidi Dates (2 lb – 10 lb): Golden, nutty, and semi-dry with a firm texture that holds up beautifully in baking. A flavor profile you won’t find at any grocery store.

Barhi Dates (Seasonal): Our rarest variety — honey-sweet and complex. Available August and September only. They sell out every season.

How to Store Your Medjool Dates

Medjool dates store exceptionally well — one of the reasons they have been a staple food across the Middle East for thousands of years. When your order arrives from our Sky Valley farm, here is how to get the most out of them:

  • Room temperature: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark pantry for up to 1–2 months.
  • Refrigerator: An airtight glass jar or container keeps dates fresh for up to 6 months. The cold firms them slightly — let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before eating.
  • Freezer: Dates freeze beautifully for up to 1 year. Freeze in a single layer first, then transfer to a bag or container. Thaw at room temperature in 20–30 minutes.
  • Bulk orders: For our 10 lb boxes, vacuum sealing individual portions before freezing is the best long-term strategy.

Store your dates long-term

Medjool dates keep for months with the right container. At room temperature in an airtight jar they last 1–2 months. Refrigerated up to 6 months. Frozen up to 1 year without losing flavor or texture.

  • Airtight glass jars — Best for pantry storage. Wide-mouth makes it easy to grab a date without a fork. View on Amazon →
  • Airtight glass containers — For storing larger quantities in the fridge. Stackable and odor-proof. View on Amazon →
  • Freezer bags (gallon) — Freeze dates in portions. Pull out what you need and keep the rest frozen for up to a year. View on Amazon →
  • Vacuum food sealer — Best option for bulk orders. Vacuum-sealed dates last 2+ years in the freezer with no freezer burn. View on Amazon →
