How do farmers care for watermelons? From selecting varieties to pest management… cutting, loading, packing and promotions… it was awesome to spend a week with @mddewatermelon during summer harvest to learn and share what makes them so special. 🍉

Throwing it back to the 8th Annual WatermelRUN 5K this past August! 🍉🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

We had an incredible 135 participants join us for a morning full of movement, community, and of course, WATERMELON!

Watermelon isn’t just the perfect post race treat. It’s a refreshing way to help athletes refuel and rehydrate after putting in the miles. 💪🍉

A HUGE thank you to all of our runners, walkers, and amazing sponsors who helped make our 8th annual event such a success. We couldn’t do it without you!

Here’s to fueling athletes and making memories one slice and one mile at a time! 🍉🏅 by @mddewatermelon

Picking a watermelon shouldn’t be a guessing game.

Next time you’re at the store, remember: LOOK. LIFT. TURN. 👀💪🔄

Watch the video to see how to spot a watermelon that’s worth bringing home. 🍉✨

Save this one for your next grocery run! by @mddewatermelon

Did you know… Watermelon farmers recycle old school buses to harvest and haul watermelons! Isn’t that cool? Loved learning about this process from @mddewatermelon and all the hard work it takes to get these heavy melons from field to your kitchen!

Look for locally produced USA watermelons in the store now… there’s a chance they came right here from this field in Maryland or Delaware by amazing family farmers 😊 #mardelicious #mardel #watermelons #melonfarming #delawarefarmers by @mddewatermelon

I believe education and transparency are SO important when it comes to food production, and a big thanks to @mddewatermelon for doing such a great job showing people how their food is actually grown.

And remember: the dose makes the poison. Pesticides are used in tiny amounts - just a few ounces per acre…are heavily regulated and thoroughly tested. I feel totally comfortable eating fresh fruits and veggies straight out of the field, and I hope you do too.

We’re nearing the end of watermelon season here in the Northeast, so if you can still get your hands on a fresh, local melon from these amazing family farmers in Maryland and Delaware… grab one. Seriously. They had some pretty great growing conditions this year, and when the weather and rainfall cooperate, you can absolutely taste the difference. These have been some of the tastiest watermelons I’ve ever had!

Fresh. Local. Family farm grown. And yes… Mardelicious. ☺️🍉

It’s all hands on deck for watermelon season—and I mean that literally. Every single watermelon is harvested by hand!

Last month, I joined the MarDel Watermelon Association @mddewatermelon in the heart of watermelon country, where harvest is happening right now across Maryland and Delaware. And here’s the coolest part: farmers recycle old school buses into watermelon harvesters! The seats come out, the buses head to the field, and the watermelons pile in. Apparently, the Magic School Bus grew up and got a summer job.

So, let’s have a little Farm Babe quiz:

How many watermelons can fit inside an empty school bus?

Drop your guess in the comments! The first person to give me the closest answer will win a fun prize package from the MarDel Watermelon Association.

Ready, set, guess! 🤩🍉
