OUR MELONS

Taste the Heritage

Seeded Watermelon

Escape to a nostalgic summer paradise with the classic red-seeded watermelon—the ultimate, authentic watermelon experience! Imagine the loudest, crispest "crack" as your knife glides through a thick, deep-green rind, revealing vibrant, ruby-red flesh that screams fresh, sun-ripened flavor.

Seeded Orange Watermelon (Coming Soon!)

Taste the sunset with the tropical brilliance of orange watermelon. Rich in beta-carotene this lower-acid fruit is gentler and more refreshing with undertones of juicy mango, creamy papaya, and fresh pineapple in every bite.

Enter The Habibi Circle

Seeded Yellow Watermelon (Coming Soon!)

Eat the sunshine! This bright canary-yellow flesh provides that iconic, firm seeded-watermelon crunch with the velvety sweetness of pure wild honey, apricot and juicy pear.

Common Questions

Every Habibi Melon is backed by the logistics and agricultural expertise of Sweet Southern Melons. This means your family enjoys farm-fresh heritage varieties, delivered with the reliability of a seasoned network.

How fresh are the melons?

Every melon is picked with the chlorophyll in the stem and cold-shipped directly. By the time you pick yours up, it's 0 to 2 days fresh off the farm. We don't store inventory — we move fast.

Why seeded melons and not seedless?

Seedless fruit is engineered fruit. It can't reproduce, it has a fraction of the nutrients, and honestly, it doesn't taste like fruit is supposed to taste. We believe in seeded varieties because that's how nature designed them — alive, capable of regenerating, and full of the flavor the seedless industry has stripped away.

Where do your melons come from?

We work with 40+ independent 4th and 5th generation family farmers across the country. Trusted partners like Sweet Southern Melons help us source the best heritage varieties. Every farm in our network shares the same commitment to seeded, non-GMO, real fruit.

How do I store my melon?

Room temperature (50-100°F, shaded): up to 2 weeks. Refrigerated: 3-4 weeks. Avoid temperatures below 50°F that aren't proper refrigeration — it damages the fruit's natural structure. See our Storage & Care page for full guidance.

Where are pickups happening?

Our drop locations rotate weekly. Most Saturdays we're at Eastern Market in Detroit, and we also drop at Hart Plaza events, Palmer Park Market, and community partnerships throughout the season. See our Upcoming Drops page for the latest schedule.
