“We've got lots of items, organic pitted and organic whole, in a variety of sizes. We've got jumbo sizes and large sizes, and then we're also featuring some of our newer items like our Tajín-coated dates,” shared David Baxter, the company’s recently promoted Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “The inspiration was really the trends around spicy, especially with younger generations [like] Gen Z and millennials. So, we partnered with Tajín because they are the number one chili seasoning in the category and it was a perfect marriage between two number ones.”

Bard Valley’s robust date portfolio is supported by a creative and eye-catching suite of merchandising solutions for retailers.
