This week’s episode, I speak with Joan Smith, a date farmer whose fruits are so delicious they’ve been featured in magazines! She shares her favorite date recipes, fun facts about date plants, tales of her farm dogs, and how she makes a point to give back to her community! 

Dates are such a fascinating desert fruit. They grow on date palm trees, which may be one of the oldest cultivated trees in the world, dating back over 5,000 years. They’re not only tasty, but they’re a pretty cool food to learn about, too.

Today’s guest teaches us all sorts of fun facts. I learned so much talking to her!
