Where can I get a GOOD cantaloupe ?

What's a watermelon in Rush Springs cost these days? Grew up eating Black Diamond but was told now there are many other varieties that are better. Keep thinking about going to the annual festival but though of competing with 50,000 people doesn't sound fun.

Usually between $10-$15

There's a couple that sets up in Cyril selling watermelons from Rush Springs for like $10 each or something. It changes. I have yet to buy one and I don't think I ever will.

Understandable, grocery store produce is always better. Usually those melons are coming from Mexico, china or South America. Don’t go by what box or sticker is telling you.

I tell everyone that comes across my stand and gripe’s about prices that the land, equipment, and easy work is done.
I’m that note I’m not paying that for a melon either. I’m like you a cheap a$$

Nothing special about a Rush Springs melon. Slice up a $5 store bought and a $18 Rush Spring and you can't identify which is which.

I go to Terrel festival and get Red River bottom melons. Though, last year, some got the Rush Spring stupid. By end of festival, they had sold very few. Some started dropping prices, but word was out and people refused to buy. The sane growers sold out. I did pay $8, but it was a HUGE melon and delicious.

Understandable. I never had one from Terrel festival. I have some extremely nice produce, I do not over charge. I have the mindset of pile it high kiss it good bye. I make a few dollars in profit that it. I also grow ALOT!

I promise I won’t take it all! I tell ppl I’m here to beat inflation and I do. Everything we grow is natural. I can walk anyone through our process and show what we use.
I can’t legally use the term organic because it’s been seized by the feds…and I’m not going to allow them 24/7 access to my property. The only melons I have atm is cantaloupe. I have a lot of other veggies.

Where you be? I buy a lot of local produce, when it is priced competitive.
