Sweet Cantaloupes
Cantaloupes make a sweet treat, picked and packed right off the vine. The Turlock Fruit Company is best known for their sweet-tasting melons, particularly cantaloupes, honeydews and mixed melons. The family says they focus on flavor, producing the melons that efficiently transfer sugar from the plant to the melon.
