What Makes These Dates Stand Out

We live on 22 acres in the southern California desert. 5 acres are planted in date palms the rest is designated as a wildlife refuge.

Our dates are:

  • 100% Raw - Unaltered in any way.
  • Unfrozen - Dates are stored above 32 degrees.
  • Unheated - There is no heating of any kind. There is normally no post harvest drying process, although dates may lose a little moisture while hanging on the tree.
  • Sustainably Grown - Our dates are absolutely free of chemicals of any kind and grown in accordance with the laws of nature.
  • Small Farm Grown - You are always supporting the small farm way of life when you buy from our company.
  • Heirloom Varieties - We sell many different kinds.
  • Our Farm and Home is Totally Off The Grid - We rely on solar energy for the majority of our needs.
  • The Personal Touch - We do our own work and have a direct hands on connection with the trees and fruit.
  • Eco-friendly, biodegradable packaging - No plastic clam shells.
  • Veganically Grown - All produce grown on our farm is in accordance with the vegan values of compassion toward animals, concern for the environment and good health. Ecologically sustainable growing methods are practiced. No agrichemicals or fertilizers derived from exploited animals are ever used. On our farm, if needed, we fertilize with wild harvested seabird guano. We use this mostly on younger trees to give them a good start. This fertilizer is natural, cruelty free, and OMRI listed. Seabird guano does not involve harming animals in any way. Veganic crops are grown in alignment with vegan ethics.
