Dulcinea Farms is the exclusive marketer and distributor of Kiss Melons, through a new partnership.
Dulcinea Farms has signed an agreement with Diana and Milas Russell Jr., who founded specialty melon brand Kiss Melons in 2006. They will continue to grow and harvest the crop in Arizona, according to a news release.
“We are excited to add Kiss Melons to our existing melon portfolio,” Josh Leichter, general manager of Dulcinea Farms, said in the release. “The Sugar Kiss and Summer Kiss Melons complement our PureHeart, SugarDaddy, SunnyGold and Tuscan-style melons perfectly, and the fact that Kiss Melons are already offered by many of our current retail partners should make it seamless for customers.”
Dulcinea will offer the Sugar Kiss and Summer Kiss melons starting in June. Dresick Farms, Huron, Calif., will ship the melons through late November, according to the release.
The melons will ship from Yuma, Ariz., and Central California.
