FLORIDA GROWING REGION

Wholesale Watermelon Grower and Distributor in Florida

A family-owned grower-shipper with its own Florida growing region, year-round rotational supply, and complete traceability for Florida retail, wholesale, and foodservice partners.

Florida Footprint

A Growing Region and a Year-Round Market

Florida is one of the few states where we are both a grower and a supplier. Our Florida growing region sits alongside South Texas, West Texas, Georgia, and Southern Mexico in a rotation built to run 52 weeks without a gap. For Florida buyers that means the fruit arriving at your distribution center often comes from a field our own family farms, packed and shipped under the same food safety program we apply everywhere else, with traceability that runs from the field to your dock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you actually grow watermelon in Florida?
Yes. Florida is one of our company growing regions, alongside South Texas, West Texas, Georgia, and Southern Mexico. Growing in more than one region is what lets us hold 52 weeks of continuous supply instead of a single seasonal window.
Which watermelon varieties can I order for Florida stores?
Our primary retail item is Standard and Premium Seedless. We also supply Super-Size Seedless, Super-Size Seeded, Classic Striped Seeded, and personal or mini melons, in custom retail packaging or wholesale bulk.
How quickly can you trace or recall a load?
Every load is traceable from the field to the dock. Our traceability program supports a two-hour recall, and our records tie each pallet back to the field it was harvested from.
