Morning Kiss Organic has an expanded summer lineup of mini watermelons, cantaloupes, and honeydew melons.

Melon season runs May through early December, according to a news release from the Chelsea, Mass.-based brand. Morning Kiss Organic is the organic brand of Gold Bell, DiSilva Fruit and Arrowfarms.

This season’s crop will come primarily from Mexico and California, with a possibility of a small volume coming from the Southeast U.S. in June and July, the release said. Promotional opportunities are available.

“We are excited to grow our organic melon program this season,” Nelly Czajkowski of Morning Kiss Organic said in the release. “Our grower partners do a fantastic job growing high quality, flavorful melons.”

The release said the company offers just-in-time inventory management which reduces loss to product spoilage. Melons can be banded with organic tape upon request to guarantee the organic sale at checkout.
