Delights of Wild Strawberries

Wild strawberries, scientifically known as Fragaria Vesca, are a hidden gem of the natural world. For many, these small berries are a reminder of precious childhood memories and a sense of nostalgia.  

Typically, Wild Strawberries grow near meadows, young woodlands, hillsides, or even along trails and roads, making them harder to find daily. Although they are known as Wild Strawberries, these berries can be cultivated while maintaining authentic flavour as those grown naturally.  

This year, we cultivated Wild Strawberries on our farm as part of our commitment to forest conservation and sustainability. By growing these berries locally, we aim to reduce the pressure on natural forests, making wild strawberries more accessible to consumers while preserving the natural habitat.
