Why California Cantaloupes should be in your shopping basket this summer?
California Cantaloupes are available April through December, but peak harvest months are during June, July and August, making them literally bursting with sunshine! Loaded with nutrients and antioxidants it gets its refreshing taste through its high water content. So, that means cantaloupe provides the hydration and electrolytes your body craves – especially in the summer. Not only that, but cantaloupe is sustainably grown in the sunny fields of California by multi-generational farming families producing 75% of the nation’s cantaloupe.
Why Choose California Grown Produce?
California Grown’s goal is to bridge the connection between Californians and the people who grow and produce their food. You may not think of farmers every time you’re at Mollie Stone’s Markets, but they think about you an awful lot. From employing food safety measures that keep your food reliable, to growing varieties they know you will appreciate, and developing creative packaging solutions that will help get dinner on the table faster – these details dominate the mind of the farmer.
