Success StoryLocal strawberry production
Local strawberry production
Author: Shawn Wright
Planning Unit: Horticulture
Major Program: Local Food Systems
Outcome: Initial Outcome
Introduced a new producer to plasticulture strawberry production. She and her children were interested in adding a new crop to their existing market that would come in early and increase traffic to the stand. In addition she also had opportunity for wholesale contracts. Myself and the RCARS crew assisted her in field preparation, planting, fertilization, pest management, and winter protection.
She was featured in the local newspaper
and will be planting again this year.
