The farmers market season begins in August or September, depending on the market, and extends through the springtime sellout, which in 2012 and 2013 was in March. The family attends markets throughout Los Angeles County as well as in Irvine and Palm Springs.
Available at Bautista farmers market stands are 1 lb packages of all current varieties and 4 lb firm-pack bags of some varieties. All of these are seed-intact fresh raw dates. In addition to seed-intact dates, the Bautista Family offers a small amount of dates that have been de-seeded by hand.
Please call or email in advance if you would like to confirm availability of Bautista Family Organic Dates on a specific date, or if you would like to place a large order (6 pounds or more) or other special order for farmers market pickup.
