California Strawberries

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. Caressed by the mammoth Pacific Ocean and enveloped in cool morning mists and nurturing afternoon sun, our strawberries grow sweet and juicy and in abundance for the world to love. The California Strawberry Commission represents more than 400 strawberry farmers, shippers and processors, proudly working together to advance strawberry farming for the future of our land and people. Commission programs create opportunities for success through groundbreaking programs focused on workforce training, strawberry production research, and nutrition research. Through science-based information and education, we deliver good news about sustainable farming practices that benefit the health of people, farms, and communities.
