Shield's Date Garden houses an unusual mix of farmer's market, classroom and ice cream shop. Date farming, you'll learn, is a precise art requiring both patience and hard labor. The same care and passion applied to growing and harvesting a date is also applied to the crafting of your Date Garden experience. Yes - the garish signs, the date shakes and the sex video are all contrived marketing tools to get you to spend. Surprisingly, by the time you leave, you won't mind the trap. The dates, after all, are clearly of excellent quality. And, like the date, the knowledge you will gain on dates and date farming is earthy, super-sweet and strangely satisfying.
Date palm - the brown bags protect the dates
Food counter - Serves drinks, ice cream and the famous date shakes at $3.50/serving. Ask for the shake recipe at the merchandise register.
