Strawberries have ridden strong consumer demand to overcome market challenges all year, so why let a little fire get in the way?

In partnership with Measure to Improve, Satsuma Farms becomes the first strawberry grower in the world to achieve the Sustainably Grown certification from SCS Global Services.

The strawberry market has seen increased volume and strong demand and very little effect from the pandemic.

The heat in the Salinas, CA, area is affecting crops there, lowering volumes and causing prices to rise.

A new video produced by the California Strawberry Commission highlights how strawberry farmers, in the midst of peak harvest season and during a global pandemic, are implementing safety practices in the fields to keep their employees healthy, and ensure they are providing safe, delicious and nutritious strawberries for consumers.

Domestic supplies of many crops will continue to ramp up now that we’re on the cusp of June.

For six months out of the year, basically from April to November, it's springtime in the strawberry fields.

Many fruits and vegetables are starting to see stronger demand with some restaurants opening back up and Memorial Day holiday demand.

Over the past 60 days, the Commission staff has visited nearly every strawberry farm currently operating in California, and provided on-site training, signage and informative materials to keep farm workers healthy, highlighting the Centers for Disease Control guidance on creating a safer work environment, and how to protect oneself through daily activities.
