 Strawberry plants can be picked up during the schedule listed below at Bounty Farm (55 Shasta Ave. Petaluma, CA 94952). Their preference is to donate to under-resourced communities that may not have the option to grow strawberries otherwise. If you will take a large number (over50), please contact them ahead of time ([email protected] or (707) 364-4883). Thursday, 11/29: 2pm - 5pm Saturday, 12/1: 9am - 12pm We have two varieties available (more variety information below). Once we run out of a variety, we will post on our Facebook page. More information on strawberry varieties from Lassen Canyon Nursery website: Chandler continues to be one of the “go to” varieties for roadside strawberry stands, backyard gardeners everywhere and many commercial growers in the southeast. Chandler produces semi-early delicious sweet fruit. Fruit size is medium to large and medium in firmness. Chandler performs well in the east and is well adapted to the south. Sweet Ann is a vigorous plant with high productivity and exceptional flavor. The attractive fruit is large in size, with a beautiful long conical shape. It has medium firmness with a good acid-sugar balance and very sweet taste. Sweet Ann is a glossy red color both inside and out. The variety produces few runners in the fruiting field. Sweet Ann seems quite disease resistant to everything but fusarium wilt. It is an excellent choice for the organic production systems.  Comments are closed.
