Varietals Overview

Coosaw Farms offers red and yellow seedless, a red seeded variety, and red mini seedless watermelons.

If you’re looking for a specific type or size of watermelon that is not included in our current product offering, give us a call. We can either help you find it or grow it in an upcoming harvest.

State of the Art Packing

To further ensure we are giving our customers some of the highest quality watermelons
on the market, we also invested in one of the world’s only automated watermelon packing lines. The automation allows us to physically touch each watermelon only twice—once when it is pulled from the vines in the field and once when it is gently placed in its final shipping container. The packing line is taking care of all the other required processes in between, from unloading the field bins, to individually washing, drying, and labeling each melon, to precisely weighing, sorting, and counting. We also pattern-pack all of our melons placed in bins. This, along with the reduced handling occasions, significantly reduces bruising and aids in product integrity through transport.

Coosaw Farms has the capability to pack its melons in cartons, bins, or bags. We also label every melon we grow. Our labels include country of origin, the PLU, and when available, the product’s bar code. To promote consumer awareness of watermelon’s five star nutritional value, our bins debut the children’s watermelon character, J. Slice. They also include key watermelon health benefit information, watermelon’s official nutrition label, and recognizable health logos such as the Produce For Better Health Foundation’s 5 A Day The Color Way™ (http://www.5aday.com/) graphic. The bins also include printed safety arrows on the side panels for consumer awareness of pallet corners when placed in location.
