Watermelon Buyers:

Market very active compared to last two weeks....watermelon supplies very tight but we are covering everyone and some off-the-wall loads...Seems like 95% of our melon business is in an Ark around Bako: SF-Reno-Las Vegas-Phoenix-San Diego-LA...great late season territory... 37 million Stomachs and really hot weather...time to eat lots of Watermelon...don't let your Customers run-out!!

As you can see for our quality/label we are at 14 cents across-the-board...Red Seedless or Regular Seeded all sizes.

We don't know how much of the market movement is Heat related or Holiday related...Get your orders in early!! Thank You for Your Support and remember we are still packing onions...don't miss them!

Watermelon Buyers:

We now have room in our Cold Storage facility beause our Bell Peppers are gapped and we are waiting for our last Onion Field to be field harvested. We will put the bins into the Cold Storage at 60 degrees while they are Fresh and in perfect condition!

We feel this extra cooling will ensure the best quality for your orders late in our season. We still have some 6's and 7's on SPECIAL below picking cost while they last!

Thank you to all who picked up Friday and Saturday with this special pricing. As soon as we clean up these melons at the 12 cent level will work so we can keep picking the 60 counts and not go backwards in the melon program.

Yellows are perfect and sweet and we stock Baby/Mini's at cost for your needs just as we do the Regular Seeded.

Plan on running your refer units at 60 degrees if possible...
Onward and Upward!

Watermelon Buyers:
There are now melons in the market from Ore-Wash to Southern San Joaquin Valley(Bako). Today we will make every attempt to meet prices of orders any of you may have. We have lowered out list prices and will be more flexible on carlots.

Yellows and Babies are priced to move. Much of our movement is to the Southland and the 21 million stomachs in the LA/SD metroplex. "Save Money...Live Better"
