Growing Practices
We are sometimes asked if our U-Pick strawberries are organic. The short answer is no, our U-Pick strawberries are not certified USDA Organic. There are many issues that weigh in our decision making for growing practices across the farm ranging from environmental to economic.
Sustainable growing practices are very important to us. This is why we do grow over 25 acres of Certified Organic produce. We also continue to convert more of our land into organic production. In some instances, we feel that Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a better solution to pest and disease issues. This is the case in our U-Pick fields. As a result of welcoming the public to pick in our fields throughout the season, the plants require more care. The main threat to our strawberries are fungal diseases and certain insects. Therefore, we occasionally have to consider carefully timed low-residue chemical applications. The products we use do not persist in the environment and have a minimal effect on the natural enemies of the pests we try to control.
While we are not currently equipped to grow organic berries for PYO, we do grow limited amounts of Organic strawberries for our farmer’s markets and wholesale customers. Organic strawberries by the flat (8 quarts) can be ordered directly from the farm. Please contact our wholesale manager at wholesale@warnerfarm.com or 413-665-8331 for availability and current prices.
