Date Shakes | Hadley’s Fruit Orchard
I recently returned from a fabulous four-day stay in the desert. Cool breeze, sun shinning and gorgeous palm trees all around, there really is nothing like the beauty of Palm Springs. Before my visit a friend told me to be sure to stop for the famed desert date shake. As a native Angeleno I was …
