Shields Date Gardens

Today's Travels in Moby brings us to Shields Date Gardens in Indio, CA. Did you know that the Coachella Valley produces 95% of the dates in America? Date trees take at least 15 years to mature and produce dates. They ripen at different times and must be picked separately. Shields is the only place that produces blond and brunette dates. If you stop here, you must try the World Famous Date Crystal Milkshakes.
