San Xavier Co-op Farm pushes through the heat to bring yellow watermelons and other specialty crops

KGUN9 – “The co-op has invested more in traditional crops they’ve been growing for years. They’re hoping their specialty crops will bring in more revenue. Some of the main crops include tepary beans and yellow watermelon.

Last year, they grew the yellow watermelon on five acres of land and sold packages cut up with seeds taken out. This year, they moved the patch to a ten-acre space and are planning to sell full watermelons.”
