This workshop will cover growing strawberries as a commercial crop for your farm. Strawberries are a great enterprise to add to your farm for diversifying and increasing your farm income. Farms that offer strawberries are able to sell a variety of produce as the strawberries draw customers to the farm. The workshop will cover variety selection, crop field preparation and crop production techniques.
