Australia's Favourite Summer Fruit - the Strawberry

Grown in various regions across the country, Australian strawberries benefit from the nation's diverse climates, resulting in a prolonged strawberry season that typically spans from Spring to Autumn. The combination of ample sunlight, fertile soils and skilled cultivation practices contributes to the exceptional quality and flavour.

What sets Australian strawberries apart is not just their taste but also their commitment to sustainable farming practices. Many strawberry farmers in Australia prioritise environmentally friendly methods, including integrated pest management and water conservation, ensuring a minimal ecological footprint. This dedication to sustainability not only preserves the natural beauty of the Australian landscape but also guarantees a healthier product for consumers.
