N.C. Strawberries: Ripe for the Picking
Nothing could be finer than to be in North Carolina during strawberry season. Did you know that North Carolina ranks fourth in the nation in strawberry production? Strawberry sales generated more than $20 million in farm receipts in 2008.
Unlike other leading strawberry-producing states, almost all of the berries produced in North Carolina are sold for fresh market right here in the state – direct to consumers via roadside stands, local supermarket chains and Pick-Your-Own farms.
