Strawberry Short Take 🍓: What does sustainability really look like in a strawberry field? Sometimes, it’s the things people don’t always notice — wildflowers in the fields, pollinators at work, and the everyday decisions that help care for the fruit and the land. And behind so much of that work are women helping shape how strawberries are grown more sustainably.

🍓 When you see a strawberry, there’s always a story behind it. This Mother’s Day, we’re honoring the women who help write it. The ones who worked in the fields. Who built and led family farms. Who supported, sacrificed, and showed up—every day. Their work doesn’t just grow strawberries. It grows strength, resilience, and the next generation of family farmers. Celebrate the women who grow the fruit you love -> bit.ly/YearoftheWoman… #CAstrawberries #MothersDay #WomenInAg #IYWF2026 #strawberryfarmers #cagrown 🍓

🍓 This Mother’s Day weekend, we’re thinking about where it all begins. For Lorena, it started with her mom — picking strawberries, dreaming of something more, and passing down what matters most. Respect. Hard work. Showing up for others. Today, that story continues in the fields — and in the family she works alongside every day. → Stay tuned as we celebrate their stories this weekend & click here to see more: bit.ly/4njCeOD #CAstrawberries #MothersDay #WomenInAg #IYWF2026 #strawberryfarmers #cagrown 🍓

🍓 “Mother’s Day, for me, begins in the fields.” — Lorena Before the sun rises, before the first berry is picked, she thinks about her mother — who started as a farmworker, learning every row, every season, carrying a vision that one day her family could build something of their own. That vision became their family farm that now supports thousands of workers and their families. Stories like this are part of what shapes California strawberry farming today — grounded in hard work, opportunity, and the people who carry it forward. 🔗 Read more: latinoreport.com/mothers-day-ca…

🍓 What people don’t always see is how much goes into growing strawberries more sustainably. Hillary, a research and technical director with a Ph.D. in entomology, is helping lead that work — using a range of tools to support how strawberries are grown. From beneficial insects — sometimes released by drone — to tools that help protect crops and reduce inputs, strawberry farming is constantly evolving. It’s not just one approach — it’s a combination of ideas, technologies, and care that help farmers use resources more efficiently, including water. Every step forward is about something bigger: growing strawberries responsibly for the future.

And at the heart of it all — women. → Meet the women growing what comes next: bit.ly/YearoftheWoman… #earthday #CAstrawberries #WomenInAg #IYWF2026 #sustainablefarming #strawberryfarmers #cagrown #agriculture 🍓

We’re proud to honor the farmworkers whose heart, skill, and dedication help California strawberry farms — and the communities they sustain — thrive. 🍓 #farmworkersday Farmworkers’ knowledge helps shape every harvest. Many strawberry farm owners began their careers in the fields — learning the craft from the ground up — and today, that pathway continues, as strawberry farms produce more minority ownership than in any other crop. Today & every day we're thankful to farmworkers whose work continues to strengthen farms, support families & help communities grow.🌱 See some of their stories here, and stay tuned for more→ bit.ly/46THhyr #nationalfarmworkersday #farmworkers #FarmworkerAppreciationDay #CAstrawberries #cagrown
