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 — large, uniform fruit 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, the flush is timed to land when field supply is absent and prices peak.
Labor concentrates around the harvest window — daily picking at peak — which makes the seasonal strategy attractive for operations that share labor with other crops through the year.
