Marvelous, local melon
We're not the only ones basking in summer's heat. Local melons have soaked up that sun for weeks, storing up the sugars and juice that will delight our taste buds when it's time to crack them open.
You'll find organic local melons from Inaba Farms in Yakima, Wash. and from several of our Oregon-based growers, including black rind and yellow meat watermelons, honeydew, muskmelon, and galia (a lovely canteloupe/honeydew hybrid).
Melon in the kitchen
Melon lends a refreshing flavor to chilled summer soups, cooling beverages and desserts.

The Inaba family
Inaba Produce is a third generation family farm dug into the rich volcanic soil of the Yakima Valley. Many of the sustainable farming practices used today were started in 1907 when Shukichi Inaba and his brother came from Japan, cleared the land of sagebrush and with techniques learned in Japan, began cultivating crops.
