Rancho Meladuco Date Farm, the award-winning grower and seller of top-quality Coachella Valley California medjool dates, launched an Heirloom Variety Date Box that features two pounds of assorted varieties that vary by season and availability. The box invites date snackers to discover unique varieties like Tarbazal, Dayri and brown Barhi, all of which are grown in California, although they may have never encountered them before. As date farming becomes more commercial, heirloom date varieties like these risk being lost to time.
Rancho Meladuco Date Farm's Save the Date initiative spotlights rare and unusual varieties of dates, and customers who purchase the Heirloom Variety Date Box will also get a seed planting kit to grow their own date palm tree from seed.
