Today we took advantage of being retired geezers on a Monday and drove out to Indio to buy some…read morefresh produce and get some lunch that has been recommended here on Nextdoor. The store is on the northeast corner of Jackson and Avenue 50. {If you don't want to have heart palpitations, come in from Calhoun Street going south and turn right on Avenue 50, and right into the lot on the corner of Jackson because the cars from the two two-lane roads hustling at that Stop Sign are enough to raise your blood pressure a lot.} We saw displays of the most beautiful produce inside the door. Plump oranges, zucchinis, broccoli, cucumbers and many other items show off their freshness and aroma. We found cucumbers, zucchini, carrots and the most fragrant strawberries ever. A bottle of Pico Pica hot sauce rounded out the purchase. Their food truck is parked on the southeast corner of their lot. @elowtitos @lgdesertstore We ordered two carne asada mulitas, a burrito, and loaded fries. Everything was delicious. The staff in the store as well as the food truck are so lovely. My husband was using a walker and everyone in the store was super helpful. We look forward to scooting over often now that we know about this wonderful group of people and the magnificent fruits and vegetables.

Their shop opens at 10am, and they do sell out most days at this point in the season so I would recommend getting to the stand early. This season, strawberries are $5.99/pint, $15 for 3 pints. I also recommend grabbing some jam, but there is a ton of other fresh produce to enjoy! Fast facts: plenty of parking, outdoor market, dog friendly, card payment available if wifi is working

Since it's strawberry…read moreseason, I was excited to pick up a pint, but I was a bit disappointed to find it was $6, and most of the strawberries I tried were sour not sweet. While I understand the effort to offer fresh, locally sourced produce, the prices feel a bit high, especially considering that this side of Indio is more lower-middle class. Perhaps they could consider lowering prices on produce that's slightly going bad to make it more accessible to everyone!

Great service. SUPER INTERESTING experience. You can have their best shake date drink while buying…read moresome awesome memorabilia and enjoy sitting in their theater learning all about dates.

As a date lover, I had to try (and compare) it to that other famous place by Morongo and I will say that the Shield's date shake is thicker and more date-intense! They also had date ice cream which I will have to try the next time. I found the shop to be charming with lots of old school toys, jewelry, kitchen accessories and, of course, dates! There are many varieties sold here, including Mr. Shield's exclusive "blonde" and "brunette". There's date sugar, date crystals, syrup, jam, rubs, honey and pancake mix! I was tempted to go crazy! The theater is at the back of the shop and it is flat out old school charming. Alas, no air con. The history of this special place plays on a continuous loop and is about 15 minutes. Well worth it for the history and to appreciate how labor intensive date farming is! Fascinating. The items are all a bit pricey. There is a cash price and a credit card price on each item and everything is clearly marked. I don't mind supporting a family business and, anyway, they had me at, "date shake." Unfortunately, it was a hot June day, 110 degrees, so I didn't venture outside. If it's cooler next time, I'll definitely wander around... I will be back!

I must love abuse as I keep trying to shop here hoping it will get better and it never does…read more Overpriced, no customer service and the store isn't very clean at all! The bathrooms are just short of disgusting and corporate needs to upgrade this store. The produce area is filthy and the people checking people out are clueless to the line, how their personal conversations take up a customers' time and I use the self checkout because of this. Some of these other reviews cannot be legit and honest. The employees are not amazing, the store is not clean and the food here is not delectable. Anyone who claims this store is clean is not telling the truth period. The last sushi rolls we purchased here a week ago were awful. Dried out rice, too much wasabi and not even a half inch of fish or filling. No thank you. Forget the deli department! They put on gloves, answer the phone in them, open doors to the fridge etc... then proceed to use the SAME gloves to slice the overpriced Boars Head meat & cheese! Yuck...not very sanitary

Easy to find but parking can be difficult at times. FACILITY: perfect location for a farmers market, lots of vendors and open spaces. They seem to be dog friendly which is unusual for most open markets. SELECTION: all kinds of things from fruits and vegetables to handmade crafts. Lots of vendor food as well as local restaurants to choose from Tamales are great. OVERALL VALUE: while it is fun, it is really expensive for fresh produce. Not sure why that is but we just look around and seldom purchase anything as most of it seems overpriced. TIP: Get there when it opens, parking is easier and lines at the popular booths are shorter.
