π Strawberries - the more you know! π
As we approach the end of strawberry season, I thought it would be fun to share a little about the different varieties we grow and why we chose this mix.
We currently have four varieties planted on our farm - Gaspers' Garden - to spread out the harvest window and give us a longer season:
πEarliglow - Our earliest variety and the tiniest berries, but theyβre also the sweetest! These started ripening at the end of May.
πJewel - Classic mid-season favorite. Large berries with excellent flavor!
πDarselect - Mid-season variety known for big, sweet berries.
πAC Valley Sunset - Our largest berries and latest variety. These will help extend picking into late June.
Even with the frost challenges this season, having varieties that ripen at different times helps spread out the risk and gives us more weeks of fresh berries.
Whatβs your favorite strawberry variety? Is there a different variety youβd love to see us grow? Weβre always open to suggestions! πβ€οΈ
