By growing out of both regions, this grower is able to supply 10 months out of the year. Miguel Suarez at Mas Melons tells AndNowUKnow prices are currently at about 10 dollars for a 4 or 5 melon box, 9 for a six melon box, and 7 to 8 for an eight melon box. Prices may be down from last year’s highs of 22 dollars a box, but growers are still enjoying steady demand.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
