According to local farmer’s it looks like a great season for strawberries. And Maine is fortunate to have a long growing season with the additional crop of the ever-bearing variety that yield berries well into the fall.
Glorious Maine strawberries
It’s surprising that more Maine farmers who cultivate strawberries don’t choose to grow the ever-bearing variety. One explanation is that the farmers need the time and wherewithal for other crops because strawberries need a lot of care. The season for this variety is after the initial crop of June-July berries. Beth’s Farm Market in Warren is one of the biggest growers; this is the place where you’re assured strawberries as late as the first frost.
