Rancho Meladuco Date Farm is located in the Coachella Valley, not far from Palm Springs. Rancho Meladuco date farm began with the 4 original trees planted on their ranch decades ago. They shared their delicious fruit with friends and family and were inspired by their wows, oohs and aahs. Their founder, Joan, (a mother of three, home cook, and backyard gardener) decided to expand and begin farming dates. They use traditional farming and harvesting methods, and pack each box by hand.
