I just got a big beautiful bunch of organic dates from a kibbutz in Israel! They came to me on the vine, just like this, direct from Israel.
These are literally the most amazing dates I’ve ever tasted… so sweet and moist. Perfection! Now I have a big box of them, so I’ll have to come up with a way to use them all. Any ideas? 🙂

I am very interested in ordering the dates in time for the New Year.

I just visited Israel a month ago and fell in love with these dates at Tamar Bakfar. Seriously, no date in the world can compare! Now I order straight from Israel, just like you!

The best dates are from Algeria. This quality is called “Deglet Nour”. You should try it
Joe Davis says
Please tell me how I can purchase dates, figs, olive oil, food products and other goods and merchandise directly from Israel.
I belong to the Fellowship Of Christians and Jews, the Jerusalem Prayer Team and other groups who aid the nation of Israel. I want to support the Israel economy by buying foods, clothing and other items. I want to visit Israel and Jerusalem someday. Any information you could email to me would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Joe! I will be opening an online market (next week, hopefully) with lots of imports from Israel, including these dates. Subscribe to my site for more updates by entering your email in the subscription box– the box is in the upper right corner of this page (just under the menu bar).

Hey im an israeli-american, 27 yo, family based in israel and resident of statten island for the past 3 years as I hold a dual citizenship. My favorite kind of dates for eating, cooking or baking are definitely the mejhools from neot semadar. My brother Alon sends me around 80 of their super large dates in the original 400g box and I sometimes am lucky to share them with my friends, sometimes I abuse them when i get that need for organic sweets.
Alon opens the box and and uses the little spaces left inside to complete my care-package with other organic products. They’re the only ones I use for my stuffed dates recipe :).
Hope this helps raise awareness to people such as Joe Davis.

Two great uses for our wonderful dates: Chop them and add them to any type of fresh fruit salad and they add a wonderful twist. Also, when I make Moroccan Chamin (cholent but tastes much better) I add about 10 dates and they add color and flavor.

Fill ’em with honeyed cream cheese.

I’ve been looking for fresh dates, here, like the ones I found in the markets in Israel. They are fleshy and moist and need to be refrigerated. Any leads?

Hi Leah, these dates are the ones you’re looking for! I’m hoping to carry them in my online store, which is launching next month. We’ll be shipping them anywhere in the continental U.S. Stay tuned for details.
