At the 34th Annual Strawberry Dinner, growers, families, and friends came together to celebrate the people behind the strawberries we love.
This year, we also recognized some of the women shaping strawberry farming in California: in the fields, in the research that goes into growing strawberries more sustainably, and in the work behind the scenes that helps farms grow and thrive. See their stories โ https://bit.ly/YearoftheWomanFarmer
Swipe to see some great moments!
