"Southern Sweet" Cantaloupes
Farm-Wey grows and markets the Athena cantaloupe. The Athena cantaloupe is best when picked full slip, resulting in a beautiful straw color and luscious aroma. All Farm-Wey cantaloupes are hand graded, washed and sanitized, and forced-air cooled. Farm-Wey ships a four pound minimum cantaloupe in graphically designed twenty four inch bins. Farm-Wey offers over 4000 acres of cantaloupes on raised wide plastic from April to December.
