What goes into growing strawberries?
Strawberry plants take an incredible amount of work with fields that need to be rotated every 3 years to let the soil rest. Our farmers are replanting fields every year to keep this rotation strong and fruit quality excellent. Plus, strawberry plants requires a lot of weeding which is labor intense.
