COLIMA, Mexico – Super Starr International, Mexico’s premier papaya and melon grower, shipper and processor, has begun the transition to Winter Honeydew Melon season with availability beginning early January 2023. The company encourages retailers to place orders now to secure product for distribution as this is a limited time crop.
“Our winter melon crop is right on schedule and looks great,” said Lance Peterson, third generation farmer and President of Super Starr International. “Weather has been ideal and expect the harvest to begin later this month with product available through early April.”
Shoppers have enjoyed Super Starr Winter Honeydew Melons for more than 60 years, and demand continues to grow stronger during the cooler weather months. This season, the company is expecting melon sizing to be mostly 5’s and 6’s, with a few 8’s.
For three generations, Super Starr has farmed in the U.S. and Mexico to produce superior year-round papayas and winter honeydew melons by growing, packing, and shipping. With this type of total control, Super Starr ensures the highest quality of fruit is placed on store shelves.
