•  55% of new businesses fail within five years. Top reasons: Flawed business planning, poor cash flow management, and products/brands that don't thrill customers.

•  Initial entrants can expect a 31% market share. Number four? 12%. The lesson: Plan and go…but be different.

You can always count on Rocky Ford Cantaloupes™ to be sweet and juicy. It’s been that way for 125 years. Maybe it’s our higher altitude or our perfect growing climate of hot days and cool nights.
