Shields Date Shakes

Could not resist. I was in the area and stopped at Shields for a date shake and had to buy the date crystals that Mr. Shields invented 30 years ago which help make these wonderful date shakes. I first brought my kids down here in 1976 to see Nana and Papa and they love them.

He imported his original date palms from Europe and continued cultivating them over the years. He made this film about the self pollinating and cultivation of the trees. The seats are original and as old as the hills
behind you.

They have modernized and now have a lovely garden restaurant out back overlooking the date palms.
