A Strawberry FaeireTale
The way the strawberry industry grows plants really makes them a subtropical plant. The industry is located along the coast from Monterrey to San Diego, with the bulk around Salinas, Santa Maria and Oxnard. Oleg Daugovish looks after this industry from our office in Ventura. He's written a story that illustrates the whole industry, from where the mother plants are grown near Mt Shasta to the fields along the coast. It's a story that every Caifornia kid should read about.
