In using these five keywords below, we can further define the vision behind what makes an Oronai™ Charentais Melon so special.
Oronai™ Charentais Melons, hailing from the Charente region of France, are a beloved heirloom variety. The Poitou-Charentes region in France is celebrated for its delightful climate, akin to a greenhouse, making it ideal for growing exceptional fruits. Winters are mild due to its oceanic climate, while summers are hot and humid. Gastronomically, the region offers an abundance of seafood delights like oysters, mussels, clams, and more, thanks to its water-rich environment.
Grown indoors in climate-controlled greenhouses where it’s paradise 365 days a year, Oronai™ Charentais Melons are nurtured with the ideal amount of light, nutrition, and water to deliver the same sweet flavor families love, no matter the time of year. It’s your own personal paradise, right in the palm of your hand.
We’re proud to be a leader in the next generation of greenhouse grown produce.
Growing Fresh Flavors
We search the world testing hundreds of vegetable varieties to bring you the perfect flavors for every taste, preference and recipe.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
We use good bugs like Ladybugs to take care of the bad bugs in our greenhouses. This method eliminates spraying so you can enjoy produce the way it should be, all natural!
Sustainable Growing Practices
High-tech greenhouse climate control systems carefully regulate energy consumption to ensure plants are thriving in an optimal environment without energy waste.
Closed Loop Irrigation System
This system avoids waste by capturing any water the plant does not consume and reusing it to replace what is lost from evaporation.
Recycled Growing Medium
Our plants are grown in coconut fibre and other recycled mediums. Selecting the right growing medium is critical to overall plant health and strength but also to sustainability.
Packing Automation
Our investment in packing automation allows us to efficiently supply millions of Tomatoes and Cucumbers to the southeast year-round!
Supplemental Lighting
With the use of supplemental lighting we can grow year-round by providing the plants with the optimal amount of light.
Misting System
We maintain favorable and consistent growing conditions through misting systems that keep humidity levels above 30% to encourage continuous plant growth.
Energy Screens
Regulating sunlight entering the greenhouse and insulating with energy screens allows us to maintain a stable climate in the greenhouse.
