As a dietitian who grew up in the agricultural industry, one of my career goals is to help people learn more about where their food comes from. The reality is this: most of the population did not have a childhood spent on a farm and therefore have not had the opportunity to see how their food is produced. 
This lack of exposure can quickly breed fear of farming methods and food in general. Beyond my childhood experiences, a lot of my ability to educate others comes from continuing to educate myself, and that’s precisely why I loved attending the Natural Delights Harvest Tour!
I had been working as a social media partner with Natural Delights for about a year before I attended their harvest tour, and I have to admit, I did not know the first thing about how dates were grown or harvested…I just knew I liked to eat them! After a beautiful intro dinner on night one, we packed up early in the morning and drove to the Bard Valley in Yuma, Arizona, to see how delicious dates get from the farm to the table.
