We were on a road trip and on the way home we have decided to drive on the I-70. Never have heard anything about Vetere Melons before. As a matter of fact, we were there accidentally. Decided to take the Green River exit to grab a bite and top off the gas tank. As we were driving in to Green River, we saw multiple signs of melons stands. Since I love melons, I immediately thought that we have to stop by one of the stands to buy a melon. These melon stands reminded me of my childhood so much! I grow up in Central Europe, and we used to have this type of farmers market, or fruit stands all over on the side of the road. It was so surreal to see it here in Green River, Utah.
During the pandemic, we had to take precautions.
We made sure that we were wearing our face mask. Made sure to keep at least 6 feet between other customers for proper social distancing. Nevertheless to say, of course others were doing the same.
Vetere Melons seemed to be very popular here in Green River. There were some good amount of people buying the melons.
The variety of melons surprisingly were huge. (See attached pictures!)
We have decided to get a few cantaloupe and a huge watermelon.
Prices are very reasonable! We paid less than $15 for 3 melons.
Keep it in mind, they accept cash and check only!
AND if the cashier is gone, pick your melons and drop the money in the slot on top of the table! Now, that's old school! Didn't see this a long time! It shows trust and respect still exists!
After purchasing the melons, we decided to eat one of the cantaloupe immediately. Drove away to the nearby parking lot, found some trees at the back, so we had a nice shade to enjoy the melon.
It was delicious! Very mild sweetness to it, but lots of flavor. Of course we were very happy to have this opportunity to be able to buy melons on the roadside, and we will be happy to do it again when we will be returning next time!
Delicious melons, VETERE MELONS! read more
