For us dates and ducks go hand in hand. Our 200-ac For us dates and ducks go hand in hand. Our 200-acre ranch began as a duck hunting club near the turn of the last century and is still a seasonal stop-over for thousands of migratory birds. Notice the bird soaring across our packaging? That duck is one of my husband’s favorites, and a frequent visitor of our wetlands, the Pintail, or Bull Sprig.  Wild duck is one of our favorite foods to prepare and it seems even more special when paired with our dates that feed off of the same land. As the California waterfowl season comes to a close this week, we are sharing this delicious smokey sweet Duck & Date recipe, a nod to the founders and history of our ranch. Inspired by a fantastic dish from chef Aaron Sanchez and Food & Wine Magazine, in our version, we’ve made the rich, smoky chile sauce even better with the complex, caramelized sweetness of our dates. Since the sauce is pureed, this recipe is a great use for those not-so-pretty, but equally delicious, “Grinder” dates. You can easily substitute pork or chicken, as well as meatless alternatives like jackfruit or beyond meat burgers! Find the recipe in the link in our bio! Recipe and photo credit: @juliaheff

Rocky says: Don’t forget, spit the pit! The oth Rocky says: Don’t forget, spit the pit! The other star of our booth at the Fancy Food Show (besides our dates and delicious @pbloveco date & nut butter samples) was Rocky. His image is featured in our packaging with our now well-known reminder to spit the pit. His photo sat front and center in our booth, a tribute to our unofficial mascot who loves to eat dates and always left a pile of discarded pits. These are old videos of Rocky sneakily poaching dates from the bin of culls. (Don’t worry these aren’t dates for people to eat, we fed these to the neighbors pig). Sadly, Rocky departed this world unexpectedly about a year ago, taken too young and breaking all our hearts. We wiped our tears and, after a couple weeks, returned to the shelter to find another rescued ranch dog to join our pack. We found Buck immediately, now affectionately known as the Red Rocky, because he has the same soulful gaze, deep connection to his humans, and playful spirit. Rocky lives on in memory and spirit, a playful reminder to have fun, eat your dates, and spit your pits. #bestdogever #rescuedogs #spitthepit #meladucodates
