From the Oxford Standard August 30, 2001 – “It’s just a hobby with us. Maggie and I like getting up early and working in the garden,” Oxford resident Tony Thulin said. Retired, the two of them pick and then sell watermelons and cantaloupe grown on an acre of land south of Oxford then sold from the back of an old pickup bed. They trust their customers to play by the rules and pay the prices marked, it’s all on the honor system. They average sales of from 20 to 30 watermelons each day and they said very seldom does he come up short on the sale. Once in a while someone will even pay more than asked, possibly because they didn’t have change. They’ve been selling melons for four or five years from the same truck, marking the watermelons with a price and all the cantaloupes for $1.50 each. The cantaloupes go first, maybe because they are easier to carry.
