[otw_shortcode_content_toggle title=”Melons” opened=”closed”]
We enjoy slicing one of our melons open after a hard day of working in our fields. There is not much that is more refreshing than tasting the juicy flesh from a watermelon or cantaloupe picked right off the stem. We personally handpick our melons and test each one for ripeness before bringing them to you.
Our two major cantaloupes that we grow are the Ambrosia and the Atlantis with some other varieties grown throughout the season.
In the watermelon patch we plant a legacy, super-sweet variety. These are the long shaped watermelons and are used to pollinate our seedless varieties making them also sweet. We raise red and yellow, fleshed and seedless watermelons for you to enjoy.
