Strawberry supply hits peak production for California grower-marketer

Naturipe’s California strawberries are in peak production now and volumes are expected to last through June.

This season, Naturipe Farms is set to have its highest volumes of strawberries, as all California regions are in full production. “Oxnard, Santa Maria, and Watsonville-Salinas are producing at peak volumes with great quality and supplies,” says Jerry Moran, Vice President of Sales for the company. “We have a mix of proprietary and U.C. varieties to bring our customers the best of both worlds.”

“This year’s California strawberry crop is peaking just in time for National Strawberry Month. We are seeing great quality and delicious flavor on these sweet and juicy berries. We are thrilled to be offering strong promotable volumes heading into May,” Moran added.
