YEAR-ROUND MELONS
Thanks to flexible and diverse growing locations, Legend Produce supplies cantaloupe year-round to customers throughout the US.
We grow domestically from May through November by transitioning between Yuma (AZ), Maricopa (AZ), and San Joaquin Valley (CA) as the weather changes.
Between December and May, we import melons from Central America to ports nation-wide.
