Martha's Gardens is a date farm offering a fascinating tour. Visitors can watch an informative video about growing dates and then take a ride on a wagon-pulled trailer around the farm to learn about the laborious process. The grounds are beautiful with a welcoming hacienda style. It is considered a local treasure. The farm has a shop with a good, though not large, selection. They sell Medjool dates, variety packs, and date desserts like date rolls covered in walnuts, coconut, pecans, or almonds. Their famous date shake is delicious and highly recommended, with options like a bacon date shake, though they cannot make a vegan version. The staff is friendly and helpful. It is a great stop and a nice little visit for learning about date farming.
