Our mission: to stand with Palestinian farmers
In 2014, a group of us, doctors, lawyers, students, friends & family, first visited Palestine and met local farmers who spoke about the hardships they face. We made a small commitment to support them; the next week, 300 boxes sat on our kitchen table.
When we tasted them, we discovered why the farmers were so proud, these were some of the finest dates in the world. Everyone said the same thing 'We had no idea Palestinian produce tasted this good.'

How fast is delivery?

What's the difference between Premium and Classic dates?
Premium dates are our most uniform Grade 1 fruit, ideal for guests and gifting. Premium dates feature a 0–10% skin separation, meaning the skin stays tightly attached to the fruit for a smoother, cleaner look and firmer bite. Our classic Dates (grade 2) feature 10–25% skin separation, meaning more of the skin is naturally loose or wrinkled around the fruit. Classic dates come from the same farms in natural, everyday sizes, at a lower price with the same great taste.
