Growing the Future of Agriculture
At Dixon Melons, we believe that the future of agriculture belongs to those who come prepared, ready to innovate, and eager to build real farm-based businesses.

Our Mission
What Is the DM25 Farm Incubator?
The DM25 Farm Incubator is a launchpad for emerging farmers and agri-entrepreneurs who are serious about success. Through this program, participants gain access to productive farmland, greenhouse space, equipment, and expert guidance — all designed to help transform business plans into thriving, sustainable operations.
This is not a casual learning opportunity. We are looking for applicants with solid business plans who are ready to discuss strategy, scale, and long-term growth.
What You’ll Have Access To*
- Greenhouse Facilities: Test new methods, and scale with confidence in professional greenhouse environments.
- Tractors & Implements: Utilize modern equipment and tools that help you farm smarter and more efficiently.
- Mentorship: Work alongside seasoned growers and agricultural experts who help you sharpen your business model and production approach.
- On-Site Housing: On-site accommodations available, allowing you to stay immersed in both your business development and active farm work with Dixon Melons.
- Roadside Stand Exposure: Gain direct-to-consumer marketing and retail experience through our established roadside stand, supporting both your learning and Dixon Melons’ operations.
- Community & Networking: Be part of a collaborative environment where you contribute to the success of Dixon Melons while building relationships and skills that support your own business growth.
*Access to resources, housing, and marketing opportunities will depend on the agreement reached. All participants are expected to contribute to Dixon Melons operations as part of their incubator experience.
