WHEN & WHERE: Del Ray Farmers’ Market, 203 East Oxford Ave., Alexandria, July 26.

DETAILS: For the third week in a row, Julie’s Datery will sell its stuffed dates at the Del Ray Farmers’ Market this Saturday.

“The demand for our stuffed dates from the Del Ray community has exceeded our expectations,” said Julie’s Datery founder and president Julie Reynes. “We make our stuffed dates in Alexandria. I live here and just love sharing my delicious dates with my neighbors.” 

Julie’s Datery uses Medjool dates from California, a variety known for its large size and sweetness. The recipes for the stuffing placed in the dates include all-natural ingredients and features a balance of nuts, fruits and spices. Julie’s Datery date flavors include Almond Lemon, Hazelnut Chocolate, and Pistachio Orange. The company assembles all of their stuffed dates by hand in rented commercial kitchen space in Alexandria.

Julie describes the dates as, “an elegant and sophisticated appetizer or perfectly balanced snack or dessert.”

Julie’s Datery will offer free samples and sell stuffed dates at the Del Ray Farmers’ Market from 8 a.m. - noon on July 26. They will also be at the Old Town Farmers’ Market on Saturdays from 7 a.m. - noon on Aug. 2, Aug. 16, Sept. 13, Sept. 20 and Sept. 27.  

Special orders can be taken through our website.  Also, future opportunities to sample or buy dates will be posted at www.juliesdatery.com.
