I'm "Papaya Proud"!!
I can't resist mentioning our new variety of papaya...
Royal Star
Actually it's my husband, our son and our two
business partners who I am really proud of.
We farm near Manzanillo, Mexico.
Our son heads up the organization down there
with two men who have been with us almost since the
beginning.
My husband oversees the arrival of the papaya from
Mexico, the sales and quality control.
Our sales staff must be commended as well.
We have an exclusive on this variety of papaya.
That means we are the only growers who can
have this seed.
Not a papaya lover?
... I wasn't either...
until this papaya came on the scene.
This past weekend roughly 18,000 attendees roamed the
exhibit hall in Atlanta at PMA...
Produce Marketing Association.
My husband and son were both thrilled with the
response to our new papaya.
Good job, men!
And here it is Mosaic Monday again and once more
I am joining in over at
Little Red House for all the fun!!
(Frankly, I'm working on perfect attendance!! lol)
Oops! Almost forgot to mention... notice the picture of the papaya cut in half? Do you see the star where the seeds are.
Yes... that's how we named this very sweet papaya.
Enjoy!

WOW, looks too yummy! I can't wait to look for it and know where it comes from:) I know you are proud and rightfully so! Have a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!
I doubt I will ever see this in Canada which is a shame because I would really like to find a papaya that I liked.
As it is now I am not really a papaya fan. I will keep my eyes open for it whenever I cross the border.
Papaya Proud, I'll say!
Congratulations to Royal Star, to have the exclusive on this variety, that is just awesome! It's scrumptious, I know!
The minute you see it, get it!
Love y'all!

You grow Papaya.... how wonderful.. don't laugh but I planted papaya a few years ago and this past two weeks I have my first fruit budding out! I danced out back in the yard..lol
Found your blog from a friend who told me you grow this fruit! I need to read more and see how I can keep this fruit from all the critters that live in my yard... Nice to meet you
