Welcome to Our Strawberry Info Page

Strawberry plants survive through the winter and when the soil warms up again after last frost, they begin to rapidly produce berries

Sugartown Strawberries Farm takes pride in working with other local farms and services in the community to run our business.

Only the most highly ranked gardeners are responsible for propagating our strawberry roots no later than the middle of September. The super strong roots come out invigorated with organic fertilizer and cold stratification while growing at certain stages.

Within 48 hours, the cold stratified strawberry plants will go right into the ground under a "row tarp." After they are planted, and before they are covered with a large white winterization tarp, they will take 2 or 3 days of watering with the remaining heat at the end of the Fall season!

The next step after the plants have been put in the ground and watered for a few days with the remaining fall hot temperatues is to cover the fields with a large winterization tarp. After 7-10 days, its time to remove the tarp and begin to remove the weeds from the hole area where the berry plants will remain for winter. 

Just in no time, after the Strawberries are out of the germinating trays and have taken water and been covered for several days, the vines begin to rapidly grow because of the strength of the roots. Also, flowers and berries begin to grow as well and that means they will be twice as strong when they reach warm weather again.

There are always multiple ways to grow fruits and vegetables and each method will leave it up to the plant to sustain with its dynamic strength and ability. The styles of strawberries that we grow begin to have their vines reach out and grow another pair of roots near the flower stem and so vigorously harnass themselves in for winter temperatures.

Apparently so!
