Growing great tasting melons is much like growing grapes for fine wine. It takes a keen eye and attention to detail. Countless hours are spent evaluating each and every aspect of the multiple operations. Consequently, our melons are a reflection of the dedication to our profession.
Our growing practices are the most innovative in the industry. The growing process starts with soil and climate selection. It doesn’t matter how good the seeds are, without the proper climate and soil, melons will not reach their maximum flavor potential. Next, the perfect seed variety is chosen to complement the growing region. Through the years, copious data has been kept on growing practices and different varietal performances. This data is incorporated into a “secret formula” that creates the exquisite fruit that gives our customers the best tasting melons available.
We go to great lengths to maximize flavor and food safety in our fields. Every operation is planned and executed in a manner designed to prevent cross-contamination and minimize the use of pesticides. The beds that our melons are grown on are raised to a height that prevents moist soil from contacting the melons. We use specialized equipment to reduce the sprayed area of the fields, thus reducing overall pesticide use. We also use fabric row covers to reduce pesticide use and to prevent virus-spreading insects from infecting our fields. We use organic pesticides whenever possible, and all Kiss Melons seeds are Non-GMO.
Kiss Melons are grown in Yuma, Arizona and in the Central and Imperial Valleys of California. Our harvesting season is from late May through mid-November each year.
