Calendar Production

The Gard region, in the South East, has the earliest production, on 40 hectares for about 600 metric tons. It is followed in the summer by the South West and the Quercy region.

This chalky-clay soil and its geographical position between the Ocean and the Mediterranean, where the melon was established in the 1960s, will supply "Philibons" right until the first frosts of autumn, always of the same regular quality.

There are no less than 160 enthusiastic growers of this crop, perpetuating their special expertise on 550 hectares producing 10,000 metric tons.
For some years, these farmers have been grouped into Growers' Organisations to ensure traceability and respect for the quality of the produce.

EUREPGAP certification was obtained in 2003.

For its part, the BOYER company assists them, by placing at their disposal 4 technicians specialised in growing melons, and by gathering part of the crop before processing in its station.
