We grow as many as eight varieties of strawberry so we can extend the season. Using polytunnels are fantastic for helping the strawberries come a little earlier and protecting the fruit. A lovely place to be picking on a wet day. All the "indoor" strawberries are up on table tops, so no more bending to pick, its very popular with all ages and abilities.

SOME FACTS ABOUT STRAWBERRIES
Strawberry nutrition.
Strawberries can be classed as a superfood due to their nutrient content and delicious taste. Just one serving, a cupful, will provide you with a high amount of vitamin C (149% of your daily recommendation for 2000 calories a day diet) which will help to support your immune system, will help your body to absorb iron and will help your body to stay healthy and fight damaging free radicals.
A Cupful of Strawberries also contains 3% of your daily recommendation for iron, 2% of calcium, and 12% of fibre. Studies have also shown they can be eaten to help reduce high blood pressure because they contain a good level of potassium.
