Farm: Flying Disc Ranch Amount: 1 lb Organic Medjool Dates are known for their deep, rich caramel and brown sugar flavors and melt in your mouth texture. Nestled in the Coachella Valley, Flying Disc Ranch spans 10 acres where permaculture and biodynamic farming methods guide every decision. The ranch operates without any pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, relying exclusively on vegan-based fertilizers to nourish the soil. For over four decades since the 1970s, every tree receives individual, careful attention through hand cultivation. This unique agricultural oasis creates a tropical desert ecosystem, where towering date palms form a canopy over an abundant understory of citrus trees, fig plants, and aloe. The thriving habitat supports diverse wildlife including insects, owls, various bird species, and snakes, all contributing to the ranch's exceptional ecosystem that yields remarkably complex and nutrient-rich dates. The exceptional quality has earned recognition from culinary experts. Martha Stewart has praised them as "the best quality dates," while renowned French Chef Alan Ducasse, who authored Harvesting Excellence, calls Flying Disc Ranch "the best North American source of dates."
