Real Medjool dates aren't born everywhere.
They demand desert sun, air that shimmers with heat, and water most crops couldn't survive.

Ne'ot HaKikar · Est. 2003

The Terroir

Why Here,
And Nowhere Else.

Four things make a MEDJOYA date impossible to replicate. None of them can be copied - because none of them are ours to move.

  • 01

    345 Meters Below Sea Level

    Ne'ot HaKikar is one of the lowest inhabited places on Earth. The dense, oxygen-rich air and extreme desert heat ripen each date slowly into deep caramel sweetness.

  • 02

    Brackish Desert Water

    Our palms drink mineral-rich brackish groundwater drawn from desert aquifers - water most crops can't survive. Date palms don't just tolerate it. They thrive on it.

  • 03

    One Family, The Whole Chain

    We grow them. We pick them. We pack them. We ship them. No brokers, no repackers, no middlemen - the same hands care for your box from palm to porch.

  • 04

    Boutique, Audited Care

    A small GLOBALG.A.P.-certified orchard - audited to the standard the world's strictest supermarkets require. Every date is hand-selected; only Jumbo grade makes the box.

Our Story

One Family.
One Orchard.

In 2003, Shlomo planted his first date palms in the desert soil of Ne'ot HaKikar - a small village 345 meters below sea level, south of the Dead Sea, where summer temperatures soar and the groundwater runs brackish and mineral-rich.

Most crops can't live here. Medjool dates become extraordinary here.

Today his son runs the same boutique orchard and the family packing house beside it. Every date is grown, picked, sorted, packed and shipped by us - one family, from our palms to your table.

"A real Medjool doesn't need to prove anything. It speaks for itself."

03

We Pack

At our own packing house, every date is inspected and sorted. Only Jumbo grade earns the box.

04

Cold-stored until the moment they leave, then fulfilled across the US by Amazon. No middlemen, ever.

Questions

Everything You'd Ask Us.

What makes Medjool dates "Jumbo"?

Jumbo grade means each date weighs roughly 23-27 grams - about twice a standard Medjool. Every date is hand-selected at our packing house; only the largest, softest fruit makes it into a MEDJOYA box.

How should I store them?

Sealed at room temperature: 1-3 months. Refrigerated in an airtight container: 6-12 months. Frozen: a year or more. No preservatives needed - the fruit is naturally shelf-stable.

Are MEDJOYA dates kosher? Halal?

Both. Every box is certified Kosher for Passover (OU-P) by the Orthodox Union - one of the strictest kosher standards in the world - and carries halal certification. Both marks are printed on every box.

Where exactly do the dates come from?

Every date is grown at our family orchard in Ne'ot HaKikar, Israel - a small desert village 345 meters below sea level, south of the Dead Sea. The orchard was planted by Shlomo in 2003, is GLOBALG.A.P. certified, and is run by the same family today. Grown, packed and shipped by us - no middlemen.

Do the dates contain pits?

Yes - our Medjools are whole, with their natural pits, the way they keep best. Remove pits before eating. Not suitable for young children unless pits are removed.

What if my box arrives damaged?

We stand behind every date that leaves our packing house. Orders are fulfilled by Amazon, so damaged or unsatisfactory deliveries are covered by Amazon's return policy - and if anything ever falls short, write to us at contact@medjoya.com and we'll make it right.
