Melon Varieties
Origami:
Origami is the best tasting, most flavorful, sweetest, cantaloupe on the market. This cantaloupe is a special exclusive variety to Legend Produce that practically sells itself with it’s enticing aroma inviting customers to taste it.
Cantaloupe:
Our staple item is cantaloupe. We grow the Western-shipper variety that slips off the vine and also the Harper variety that is cut from the vine.
Honeydew:
The honeydew melon is our second staple items we grow. The green flesh is what we concentrate on mostly, it is sweet, creamy, and pairs perfectly with any of our sweet cantaloupe.
Galia:
The Galia is the newest melon variety that we have added to our catalog. This is a creamy, slight green flesh, with a unique flavor that adds the right amount of sweet to any dessert or treat.
Trial Acreage
We continually grow and test melon varieties in our trial acreage throughout the year. We work in partnerships with melon seed breeders to develop the best tasting fruit.
Testing Stage
When a variety meets our standard in the trial stage, we move it to testing – devoting 5 to 10 acres to the seed.
Production
After having met our standards again in the testing stage, the variety moves into production where we devote 50+ acres to its success.
