All along the central and southern coast, hundreds of California strawberry farmers are cultivating the majority of all the U.S.-grown strawberries on less than one percent of the Golden State’s farmland. In many cases, second- and third-generation farmers keep producing America’s favorite fruit. Get to know some of our farmers and hear their personal stories here.

A rare combination of special climate, special soils, and special people make California home to nearly 90% of America’s strawberries and to generations of immigrants who have grown with the plant.
