We grow only organic plants and always with 0% pesticides.

Did You Know?

Sadly, strawberries are the fruit where the most pesticide residues are found. Our strawberries are grown from organic plants with absolutely no pesticides used throughout any stage of their
growth. Instead we use natural solutions to remedy any problems. Last year had a problem with aphids but used natural predator insects which took care of the problem for us and protected our plants.

So yes, it is possible to enjoy this delicious fruit without worrying if you’re ingesting anything other than a healthy fruit. It does take us more time and energy but the rewards outweigh the costs.

What varieties will you be growing this year?

Strawberries in reality come in all sorts of varieties and tastes just as you see with apples. What you see in the supermarkets are often a couple common varieties that don’t taste very different from each other. If you visited us during last year’s season, you would already be familiar with the four varieties of strawberries that we offer. They each have their own unique flavour profile definitely worth tasting:

Clery:
This strawberry comes from Italy and was made available to agriculturists in 1998. A sweet, very juicy, and firm berry that will not disappoint! These will be the first to be harvested and sold on our fields.

Joly:

Related to the Clery variety, it comes from Italy and is rated very high for taste and aroma.

Malwina:

This is a late-season variety that first came from Germany. These are reminiscent of strawberries from your grandmother’s garden. Glossy and dark red, they have excellent flavour and sweet aroma. In terms of timing, these are typically harvested after Clery and Joly.

Malling Centenary:

Originating from the United Kingdom, this variety is known to be juicy and undeniably sweet with firm berries. Like Malwina, these are typically the last to be harvested.

Taking Your Strawberries Home

As tasty as they are, strawberries are also a fragile fruit. It’s best to eat them close to when they’ve been picked, and also best to wash them right before eating or cooking with them. Excess moisture can make strawberries spoil more quickly.
