Our new Oak Glen favorite, Strawberries! We started planting in 2008, and the berry patch has just taken off. It's now our earliest and longest lasting crop. Berries in Oak Glen come early, keep bearing and taste amazing. They just might give apples a run for their money.
We currently have two varieties we've found work really well up here. The berries aren't huge, but they are very very tastey. The earlier in the season it is, the tarter the berries. The later, the sweeter. The berries are doing so well, we just put in another 3,000 plants this year. So come on up and try some out.
