COLIMA, MEXICO - It’s beginning to look a lot like winter Honeydew melon season for Super Starr International! The supplier has begun its transition to its winter melon program, prepping retailers for limited availability beginning in January 2023.
“Our winter melon crop is right on schedule and looks great,” said Lance Peterson, third-generation farmer and President of Super Starr International. “Weather has been ideal, and [we] expect the harvest to begin later this month with product available through early April.”
Super Starr winter Honeydew melons have been enjoyed for more than 60 years, and demand continues to grow stronger during the cooler weather months. This season, the company is expecting melon sizing to be mostly 5s and 6s, with a few 8s, a press release explained.
For three generations, Super Starr has farmed in the United States and Mexico to produce year-round papayas and winter Honeydew melons. With control over the growing, packing, and shipping, Super Starr ensures the highest quality of fruit is placed on store shelves.
Now get ready to fill those aisles with fresh winter melons!
