Our dates like to dress up for Halloween too! Thes Our dates like to dress up for Halloween too! These Spooky Date Monsters are a fun and yummy treat everyone will enjoy this Halloween. We start by stuffing our dates with a mixture of red jam, marshmallow fluff and peanut butter (so they ooze when you bite in!) then coat them in chocolate and decorate them as mummies and monsters. Sure to bring smiles and giggles for the little ones! Bonus: these little monsters are a healthier treat without all the scary sugar in the candy bucket. 👍🏻 Get the how to on our website linked above. Created and 📸 for us by @juliaheff #bestdatesever #halloween #datemonsters #stuffeddates #halloweentreats #eatyourdates #medjooldates

I’m smitten. These vintage California Date boxes I’m smitten. These vintage California Date boxes were my inspiration for our 2020 Harvest Box. I love all things rustic, vintage, and nostalgic and these charming boxes reflect a bygone era when California Dates were cherished, gifted and adored. Did you know: in the 50’s at their height of popularity there were more than 200 roadside Date stands in the Coachella valley? When did we lose our passion and affection for this wonderful little fruit?! Ever committed to reviving the affection and passion for great dates, we crafted our limited edition 2020 Harvest Date Box after these shown here. I first stumbled across one of these boxes on eBay earlier this year and that was it - down the 🐇 rabbit hole I went! We sincerely hope you enjoy our revival of the wood boxed, giftable California-grown dates as much as we do! #californiaproduce #californiagrown #medjooldates #vintage #california #bestdatesever #bestgiftever #meladucodates

Each beautiful box is filled with a hefty two plus pounds (or more, we’ve been packing them closer to 2.5 lbs!) of our most large, succulent dates nestled in a keepsake box. Our 2020 Harvest print created for us by @ryanstinerartthings celebrates the Date Harvest and the food that unites us. Each box comes wrapped with satin ribbon making this the ultimate gift.

Raided. Raising food, whether plant or animal, pr Raided. Raising food, whether plant or animal, presents opportunities for predation. The low hanging bunches on the young trees fell victim to opportunistic critters this year. My guess is coyotes. Raising a crop alongside a wetlands habitat and surrounded by open desert means we feed many, not just our human friends. The good news? Each year the palms grow another 12-18 inches taller. It won’t be long before they can’t reach the bunches, unless a wiley coyote with a ladder comes along 😜. #croploss #badcoyote #takeitinstride #shithappens #nextyear
