Joolies® may be new to you, but our founding family has been planting and growing organic medjool date trees for nearly two decades. We've spent nearly two decades farming here at Kohl Family Farm in the Coachella Valley. Our ranch has 1,000 acres, over 50,000 date palm trees nestled in Coachella Valley, California. Organic is a lifestyle for us. It's how we feed our family and so of course we had to ensure our ranch was USDA organic certified. Our dates are hand-harvested at peak ripeness using Afron lifts. Our rich sandy soils let us get away with minimal intervention: no pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides here! The Colorado River provides us with the purest water for our finely-tuned water needs— we don't waste a drop! Our dates are always FRESH and never dried or rehydrated like some big name date brands. We do not use preservatives or any additives. …we're proud to be certified glyphosate residue free. Our dates do not contain sulphur dioxide. They're a natural source of energy, rich in potassium, fiber, magnesium, and antioxidants. This fresh fruit is low on the glycemic index.
