Buck's Corner for a Bogue Sound Watermelon!

During National Farmers Market week, I also had the pleasure meeting Jerry Meadows, owner of Buck's Corner Farms in Cedar Point!  Meeting Jerry was a real treat!  Jerry is a member of the Bogue Sound Watermelon Growers Association. To be a member of the Association one must qualify to join the co-op.  Growers must use land to grow the melons that drains directly or indirectly into the Bogue Sound, from Swansboro to Morehead City. Right now, there are 20 growers in the co-op. There is something special about the Bogue Sound soil, not the seeds!

To learn more read the Southeast Farm Press article; Bogue Sound Watermelon Success!  I hope you are able to enjoy a North Carolina local market near you!



Enjoy your Day, Carolina Style!
