OGC coworkers visited growers across the Northwest last week to check on this year’s harvests of Oregon and Washington-grown melons. From the Willamette Valley to Eltopia, Washington and Hermiston, Oregon organic melon magic is happening across the region and now’s the time to go big on these tasty varieties!

From arid eastern Washington, grower Alan Schreiber of Agricultural Development Group is harvesting a delicious collection of organic specialty melons.

Starting to see the summer sales slump? With road trips, vacations and packed summer schedules, it’s not uncommon for shoppers’ time and attention to be drawn in many different directions. This is a great time to focus their attention on key summer items to capture all possible sales with eye-catching and informative POP!

Use this collection of resources to educate, entice and delight staff and shoppers, keeping melon sales strong past Labor Day!

“I grew up on a diversified farm in Missouri,” Alan Schreiber jokes. “We grew soybeans AND corn.”

Now living and growing in Eltopia, WA. with partner Leisl Zappler, Alan is more than a farmer. He’s also a professor and founder of Agricultural Development Group (ADG), which specializes in agriculture research focused on fertility, insects, disease, weed control and variety trials.
