The Brown Date Garden was purchased by Tom and Florence Brown in 1930, when the California date industry was still in its early stages. They moved to the farm full-time in 1941 because of the gasoline shortage. After their deaths, Tom's nephew Ted Fish and his wife Donna took over the ranch.
Dates have no fat, no cholesterol, and no sodium.
Dates are a fresh fruit, not a dried fruit. You may store dates at room temperature for up to two months, or in the refrigerator for up to one year, or in the freezer for several years. Dates are mentioned in the Bible as a great gift. David blessed the people . . . Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates, and a cake of raisins to each person in the whole crowd.
