Desert Mountain Dates is a working date grove in Desert Hot Springs’ Sky Valley area, growing Medjool and Deglet Noor dates. It is not a walk-in storefront: place orders through the website or by phone, and arrange any grove visit in advance so you do not arrive expecting a retail shop.

Dates From a Working Grove

The ranch covers about two and a half acres of date palms in the Coachella Valley. Each palm is hand-pollinated, a close-up detail that helps explain the care behind the farm-fresh dates. Orders can be packaged for purchase on site or mailed anywhere in the United States, making the grove a practical source for taking a desert-grown gift home.

By Reservation, Not Walk-In

Owner Rick Olds leads free golf-cart tours of the grove by reservation. Advance arrangements matter because the gate must be opened for guests, and the farm asks visitors to call before stopping by. A scheduled visit gives you a chance to learn about date farming and harvesting directly at the palms rather than treating the property like a conventional shop.

Farm Life Beyond Dates

The ranch is also home to rescue dogs, chickens, miniature horses and miniature goats. Children can feed the miniature animals during a visit, adding a relaxed farm element to the grove experience. Tours also cover the local conditions that shape date growing, offering a useful perspective for visitors curious about the agricultural side of the Coachella Valley.

For dates, start with the website or a phone call. If you would like to see the grove, reserve ahead and confirm the visit rather than driving out for an unplanned stop.
