A short drive from Palm Springs is a town called Indio, which is a major growing region for warm weather crops, mostly citrus and dates. Along Highway 111 right as you enter Indio is Shields Date Gardens, where there is a great store that continually plays a movie called something like “Romance and Sex Life of the Date” watching it you will learn about the farming, date production and how long it takes to grow productive date palms
The store at the gardens has all kind of varieties of dates, date products and lots of other goodies. The date shake is very popular and although I don’t like shakes my friends always stop by for one and love them.
