Our Farmers

Farming always has its challenges, and growing strawberries is no different.

Farmers have to be resilient in the face of problems ranging from pests to bad weather. Growing strawberries is hard work, and takes time and patience, and a willingness to work long days in the fields. But many of our farmers say they can’t imagine doing anything else. It’s a labor of love that, for many, has been going on for generations.

Here are some of their stories.
