2019 Queen Summer Tour
Our Georgia watermelon season is coming to a close and we have had an awesome year promoting our favorite, sweet summertime fruit. The queen tour has been a great success and we are so fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit so many wonderful places! We can’t think of anything better than marketing sweet Georgia watermelon!
Our season of promoting watermelons began with ‘down-on-the-farm’ visits with our growers in South Georgia! Thank you to Tucker Family Farms, Leger and Son, Auburndale Fruit, Kenny Davis, Bob Rawlins, Mark Bryan, Marty Bloodworth, McKay Farms, Burk Farms, Dan King, Melon 1 and Generation Farms for allowing Queen Meredith to spend time with you and learn more about production and distribution! Also, a huge thank you to Melon 1 for hosting us for lunch and to Seedway for a special invitation to join their sales team on a field trial. It’s always fun to sample and taste test new varieties!
