A personal favourite! Strawberries

have a ton of different varieties, each

and purposes -- one of which is eating,
of course!
Strawberry Varieties
& Facts
Strawberries come in many different shapes,
sizes, colours, textures, and tastes.
Early varieties: VEESTAR,
ANNAPOLIS
Veestar : These strawberries
are nice, plump, very sweet and red. They
start large, and decrease in size. However,
the smaller berries are so incredibly
sweet! They take a little extra work,
but make an awesome jam! These berries
tend to be soft, making them ideal for
jamming, pies, desserts, and eating. Because
they are soft, they will not last in the
refrigerator for any long period of time,
and should be used up right away. We only
sell Veestar as picked berries when they
are large, because they will last a short
while, but only harvest them as picked
berries to sell upon request. These are
excellent pick your own berries because,
at times, they are so numerous in numbers
that it may take a whole 5-10 minutes
to fill a basket (depending on how many
you eat)!!
Mid-Season: MIRA, MESABI,
JEWEL, SAPPHIRE
Late Season: YAMASKA,
ST. PIERRE
Other: We also have new
varieties under test every year. Taste them
and see which is your favorite.
