Pellegrini's Strawberry Farm
Pellegrini’s Strawberry farm harvested its first acre of Strawberries in 1976.
It originated as a project to provide work and a source of income for the children to help put them through college if they desired to further their education.
Acreage expanded to about 3 acres during most of the first 15 years and to 5-6 acres in 1990 when the owner retired from his main job.
Today acreage remains at 6-7 with 75% harvested as pick your own and 25% for pre-picked strawberries.
Seven varieties are grown, the majority are Cavendish a large sweet berry preferred by local customers.
Other varieties include Jewel, Kent, L’Amore, Dar-select, Brunswick, and Cabot.
