Seasonal strawberries in greenhouses
One concentrated, high-yield harvest window. June-bearing strawberries deliver abundant volume and premium fruit size, exactly when you time the market for it.
One flush, timed to the market
Seasonal (June-bearing) strawberries produce a single compact cycle of 3–4 months, yielding ±3.5–4.5 kg per plant. The fruit is large and uniform at 20–30 g, bursting with peak-season flavor. In a greenhouse the “season” is yours to choose. On suspended gutters with precise irrigation and climate control, you time the flush yourself. It lands when field supply is absent and prices peak.
Labor concentrates around the harvest window, with daily picking at peak. That makes the seasonal strategy attractive for operations that share labor with other crops through the year.
