🍉 Another sweet day in California! 🍉

We started the day at the Syngenta Field Day, where Mrs. Kerri and I were honored to be recognized for the 2026 International Year of Woman Farmers! We also participated in interviews and had the opportunity to connect with the wonderful Syngenta team and visited growers.🌱

Next, we headed to HM Clause, where we learned more about some of their popular seed varieties and upcoming seed varieties, participated in an interview, and enjoyed lunch with the HM Clause team. 🍉

We wrapped up the day at Raley’s in Sacramento, CA, for a grocery promotion, sharing fresh watermelon and educating shoppers on the sweet taste and story behind their favorite summer fruit! A special thank you to Jacob Van Groningen with Yosemite Fresh for joining us and helping make another great day of watermelon promotion possible!

We ended the evening at the Syngenta Customer Appreciation Dinner, and enjoyed good company and good food!💚

And a huge thank you to my amazing sponsors for making this possible! 🍉❤️

🍉 What a day of promotions! 🍉

We started the day at the Enza Zaden Field Day in Gilroy, CA, where we had the opportunity to learn about new and upcoming seed varieties and see the innovation happening in the industry firsthand. 🌱

Then, we headed to Sprouts in San Jose, CA, where we served up fresh watermelon samples, educated shoppers, and helped participate in the sale of over 2 dozen watermelons in just 2 hours! 🍉🙌

A huge thank you to Jacob Van Groningen and Yosemite Fresh for supplying the watermelons and joining us for this promotion. We’re so grateful for your support in helping us share the sweet taste and story of watermelon with consumers! ❤️🍉

What an incredible weekend at Sonoma Raceway! 🍉🏁

It was great to see so many members of the Western Watermelon Association come together to enjoy an unforgettable weekend while cheering on @rosschastain alongside our friends at California Almonds.

A special thank you to California Almonds for an outstanding collaboration and partnership. Opportunities like these help showcase the strength of agriculture and the relationships that bring our industries together.

It’s always inspiring to support a seventh-generation watermelon farmer who’s making an impact both on the farm and on the racetrack. Proud to see Ross Chastain representing agriculture at the highest level. @melonmanbrand

Here’s to more great partnerships and even more memorable weekends ahead!
