"In the case of strawberries, the upside has been that they’ve turned out larger and more flavorful due to the slower growing period, according to Joe de Ruse, Genetics Director of the Summer Berry Company."

This week a group from the Health and Safety Executive's Chemicals Regulation Division visited Fargro Limited’s plant protection store in West Sussex to learn about biological-based crop production methods 🌱🛡 The trip showcased sustainable methods used by UK growers and agronomists to meet market demands while controlling weeds, pests, and diseases. The group toured Walberton Nursery, The Summer Berry Company, and Gusbourne Vineyard to build a deep understanding of the challenges faced in meeting consumer demands sustainably 🥕🍇🌾 Great to have CropLife UK and Horticulture Crop Protection Ltd join us too.

A quiet revolution in the fields 🔇 Strolling through fields brimming with strawberries, you might spot Alyssum peeking out from our crops in hanging pots. This isn't just any trial; it spans 17.8 hectares! Our flowers do more than just attract pollinators; they also support beneficial predators like mites and Orius, helping us naturally control pests such as thrips. One noticeable difference across the farm is our approach to the areas outside the tunnels: we have stopped mowing to let nature take its course. The result? A vibrant display of wildflowers! This year is full of learning, and we’re excited to share the natural beauty and ecological balance we are cultivating. #SustainableFarming #StrawberryFields #Biodiversity #ESG #Sustainability

Have you ever tried wonderfully wonky strawberries? 🍓😏 They are healthy and tasty, so why should they go to waste? 🤷♀️ #environmentalresponsibility #strawberries #esg #sustainability #responsiblefarming #responsibleconsumption #wonkystrawberries
A shout-out to The Summer Berry Company and Waitrose & Partners for stocking wonky strawberries. It turns out they are just as tasty, cheaper, and better for the planet (they are sold rather than dumped in land-fill). #summerberry #strawberry #sustainability
