We had an excellent experience at Sam Cobb Farms! The dates were incredibly fresh and delicious. Mr. Cobb's knowledge, kindness, and sense of humor added to the charm of the visit. With a selection of 5 different date varieties, it's a must-visit for date enthusiasts!

A friend of mine thought that I would have gotten a kick out of visiting Sam Cobb Date Farm for a tour, so we visited on a nice clear day in Sky Valley, CA. I had only tasted a date once in my life, and I wasn't that thrilled with the flavor. But I went ahead with an open mind. While we waited for the owner to meet us for the tour, I noticed something very interesting while looking at some photos of the farm's history at the sales stand. Sam Cobb is a black man; and there began my amusement. You see, I always wished I had grown up on a farm and my friend knew that. But I was really going to meet a real, live black farmer. And Mr. Sam Cobb didn't disappoint. He was charming, funny and charismatic. Above all, he loves what he does. I learned so much about dates, I'll bet I remember everything he said. After he gave us a little education about the agriculture of the date and the history of his farm, we got to sample six different varieties of dates. I must say by that time my mouth was watering. And the variety that Sam Cobb himself developed, the Black Gold variety, was absolutely amazing! Mr. Cobb is one of a kind and his farm is a great American success story. I was truly blessed to encounter such a surprise. That was the coolest, most surprising, and truly enchanting finds to come along in a long while. I shall never give up on my dreams to become a farmer...on the weekends. (LOL)

My family and I came here to celebrate my birthday. This is one of the few date farms in the area where the owner (who is also THE farmer) tours you around and lets you sample some good dates. We had a wonderful experience. Mr. Cobb is so welcoming and instructive. We felt like we were being shown around his beautiful home. I fell in love with dates some time ago at a farmers market and my goodness, Mr. Cobb’s black gold dates changed my world! Also— even the teen had a nice time and enjoyed Mr. Cobb’s stories. ? We got to go home with some nice family photos taken by Mr. Cobb himself and more good dates. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with the public. A trip to remember. ?❤️

After visiting California and having my first fresh dates, I've been obsessed with fresh, moist, gooey, sweet dates. I ordered Sam's dates from Washington and they shipped quickly and taste even better than I remember while in California. These dates are seriously so good. I happily eat them daily. Thank you for the great dates, Sam!

It is a great place to buy dates. The owner of the farm is an amazing person. The story of his date farm is fascinating. If you're in the Palms Springs area, add a visit to Sam Cobb's date farm. You will not regret it.

I enjoyed meeting and learning from Sam Cobb about his work as a farmer and about the patience and hard work involved in growing dates. I also enjoyed walking in the date groves at sunset- it is so amazing that places like this one exist in Coachella valley! The black gold dates from his farm are delicious and I plan to go back to the farmstead to buy more. Thank you, Sam, for your generosity in taking time from your work to share your passion. I hope that you inspire the next generation of farmers!

Prepare to be wowed by farmer Sam Cobb and the story of how he achieved his decades-long dream to grow delicious dates. Sam shares his passion for farming with genuine enthusiasm and a gift for storytelling. You'll learn how these trees produce dates and how Sam helps them do so successfully. You'll tour the orchard and taste Sam's secret variety of dates, Black Gold, straight from the tree. That and other delicious varieties are available for sale at the end of the tour. I enjoyed the experience immensely.

We pulled up here in June to a sign that says it's closed all summer so I wanted to save everyone a trip during these months!! Didn't get to experience the actual farm.
