For 16 years, Mike Chromczak has been growing watermelon in Ontario. Building on the business started by his grandparents and working to pass that tradition on to future generations.

When you buy local Ontario watermelon you are supporting your local community and ensuring food security for Ontario and Canada.

Look for the Foodland Ontario logo, when you are shopping for Ontario produce. It’s a telltale sign that your food was grown right here in Ontario.
