Melon Varieties

The following are some of our most popular melons. They all have their unique qualities and ripen at different times in the season. Come and try tasters at our farmers market stand and decide for yourself which is the perfect melon for you!

 

Cantaloupe

Ambrosia Aromatic, sweet, melt-in-your-mouth.

Amy A canary type melon with a smooth bright yellow skin that darkens to a deep golden yellow when ripe, with flesh that is juicy and a slightly granular texture somewhat like watermelon. For a crisper, less sweet melon, cut while it is still in the bright yellow phase.

Ananas A white-fleshed melon with a mellow yet rich flavor. A larger melon.

Atlantis One of our most popular muskmelons, with a classic medium-firm flesh, and a consistently sweet, clean flavor.

Charentais A small french melon, perfumed and soft-fleshed.

Crane A soft crenshaw type, sweet and flavorful. Orange-fleshed.

Crenshaw The favorite of many a melon connoisseur. Soft orange flesh and a smooth yellow exterior. A big melon.

Divergent Classic orange flesh with a medium firmness and a strong flavor.

Double Dew A cross with the the flavor of a honeydew, but the texture of a classic cantaloupe. Smooth pale green exterior. A larger melon.

Dream Dew Our honeydew, green inside and very sweet.

Galia A lovely pale green-fleshed variety that is soft and highly perfumed, with a greener yet slightly more musky scent than a conventional muskmelon. It turns from a green exterior to yellowish when ripe.

Goddess Softish, orange, mild-flavored. Medium size.

Ha Ogen A small Israeli melon with a smooth yellow skin and green stripes, and green inside. Like Galia, it has a slightly more musky flavor than traditional muskmelon, yet is still very sweet.

Minerva Our largest melon, it runs 6-8 lbs. Minverva has a medium to firm texture and an outstanding flavor.

Papaya Dew A medium-firm small football-shaped cantaloupe/honeydew cross similar in flavor to Double Dew.

Tuscan Our most beloved melon. Classic cantaloupe flavor and juicy, with medium firmness that will hold up in a fruit salad.

Shockwave Our firmest melon, perfect for wrapping prosciutto around.

Sugar Cube Our smallest melon, perfect for a single serving. It is also a great keeper, so you can get several and cut open a fresh one every day. Sugar Cube has a bold flavor, medium sweetness, and tends toward a firm texture.

Super Star A large, deeply lobed handsome fruit with sweet and mild flavor and medium-to-firm flesh.
