Van Groningen and Son's, Inc.

The following is an evaluation of Van Groningen & Sons Inc.’s “Yosemite Fresh” watermelons in comparison to other California distributors. The study was conducted during the 2006 watermelon harvest and was lead by a team of researchers from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. The findings prove that Yosemite Fresh watermelons contain a higher sugar content than other brands, making them the sweetest tasting among competitors, something that will stand out to the consumer.

We know how important it is for you as a retailer / distributor to maintain a consistent customer base, and have them returning day after day. We have put forth the time and expenses to have this study conducted to prove to you that our melons are superior than the four other brands that we had tested. Please take the time to look over this evaluation to better understand the quality of our watermelons.
