July Birth Fruits
July colors the stalls with midsummer fruit. Each of the 31 days carries its own birth fruit: watermelon, peach, blueberry, Delaware grape and more. July 1 belongs to the watermelon, whose fruit words are "midsummer" and "cool".
Our birth fruits are compiled independently by one rule: prefer the fruit whose peak season includes your date. Watermelon and peach join house melons, mango and dragon fruit.
It is also the season of summer gifts. July 7 belongs to the Delaware grape — the small, familiar berry chosen for the star festival.
