A wonderful variety, as always, whether you're looking for something tasty, something beautiful, or something that serves both purposes. We've had such a variety of melons that I froze some of it and made fruit drinks that are so flavorful and complex that I had to share with my Farmer's Market friends.

Here's a fruit drink recipe that I posted last year:

Cantaloupe-Peach Smoothie (printable)

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes

• 1/2 ripe cantaloupe, peeled, seeded, cut into chunks, and frozen


• 1 peach, pitted, cut into chunks, and frozen


• 1 cup fruit juice


• 1 cup vanilla fat-free yogurt

Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Makes about 4 cups.

Every week samples of Ochoa Produce's delicious melons and peaches are available, so you know what you're getting before you purchase.
