Strawberry

Oh boy, are we lucky to get these. Last season, Nichols experienced significant pest pressure on their strawberries and weren’t able to include them in the shares. Despite the slow start, the strawberries are looking great this year. You’ll notice how deep red these strawberries are. That’s because Nichols doesn’t irrigate them. Overwatering strawberries (all berries really) just waters down the berries themselves. Industrial ag does this because it increases yield, essentially just selling water in berry packaging (mind you, usually from water scarce areas: California, Texas, Mexico). These strawberries from Nichols are concentrated deliciousness.
