Strawberries

Strawberries are loved for their sweet flavour, juicy texture and fresh appearance. The Greenery offers several varieties, including Inspire, Arabella, Elsanta, Sonata and Sonsation. Each variety has its own characteristics in terms of flavour, firmness, appearance and shelf life. This allows us to serve different retail customers and international markets. Inspire stands out for its consistently sweet flavour, attractive red colour, firm flesh and good shelf life.

Growers

Our strawberries are grown by specialist growers who work every day to deliver flavour, quality and a reliable product. Close collaboration with our growers allows us to respond to the needs of customers and different markets. Depending on the variety and season, the strawberries are grown in greenhouses or in the open field.

Innovation and sustainability play an important role in strawberry cultivation. The Greenery works with growers to further develop cultivation methods, including research into growing Inspire strawberries without fossil fuels. Agronomist Klaas de Jager plays a key role in this work, drawing on his crop-growing expertise. By combining knowledge with practical experience, we are working towards future-proof strawberry cultivation.

Packaging options

The Greenery offers strawberries in various packaging formats, tailored to the needs of retail customers and international markets. Common pack sizes are 250 and 500 grams. Both open and closed packs are available, depending on the variety and customer demand. The focus is on product protection, shelf life and an attractive presentation on the shelf.
