We’ll be honest: asking for help isn’t easy for us, and we probably should have done it sooner.

Here’s what we’re doing on our side. We’re working to sell every date that comes off our palms: every variety and every grade. And we want your input on how we offer them.

Two ways to help:
📝 Take our 5-min survey: tell us how you want to buy your dates
🤝 Support the orchard: any amount helps (not tax-deductible)
