This is one of our favorite melons! A typical Honeydew is green inside, but this lemon, a cross between a Honeydew and a Musk melon, has orange flesh inside. Its flavor is like a sweeter Cantaloupe, thanks to its Honeydew heritage. We work with the Smith family, a fourth-generation farming family who own and operate Turlock Fruit Company, to bring in these and other unique, outstanding melons each summer. We’ve worked with owner Don Smith and his company for over 35 years! Tune in to hear more from Robbie Sigona, our produce buyer, as he gives tips on selecting a good melon and more.
