Fresh Dates by Anderson 59777 Calhoun St. Thermal, CA 92274
October 12, 2024 evening update: we now have 5 lb. boxes of mixed dates (4 varieties in one box).
Hours open are now 9 until 2. Days open are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
Date of the week: Zahidi, many of our Middle Eastern friends say this is the date they use to feed the goats back home. They are popular for human consumption as well. A favorite for many. They are packed in 5 lb. boxes and we also have some in 15 lb. boxes.
We have lots of 11 lb. and 15 lb. boxes of Medjool available and some of 5 lb. premium Medjool. More to come. The other varieties are in 5 lb. boxes and include Abbada, Amir Hajj, Barhi, Halawi, Khadrawi and Zahidi. We are out of Khalasa for now (but expect to have more a bit later).
We have many more dates to harvest. Deglet Noor is the last variety to ripen.
The weekends are typically a little less busy now than September.
We often have dates to sell throughout the year. Last season we sold out by March, but often we have dates through May or June. With the warm weather don’t forget hats and water.
Varieties we grow are Abbada, Amir Hajj, Barhi, Deglet Noor, Halawi, Khadrawi, Khalasa, Medjool and Zahidi.
Please drive slowly on the dirt road to our sales area under the palms and be alert for tractors, workers, children…
