SALINAS, CA - Naturipe Farms is ready to talk all things strawberries! The supplier will be making its debut with a booth at the 38^th Annual California Strawberry Festival May 18 and 19. The festival highlights strawberries grown throughout California with vendors, booths, games, and all things strawberry, anchored by a special focus on charitable giving.

“California is the hub of our domestic strawberry program and the home of our company headquarters, so we couldn’t miss the opportunity to celebrate this staple berry alongside others in the industry,” said Ashley Finster, Vice President of Marketing. “We’re enthusiastic about our shared values with the festival—giving back, a sense of community, and of course, a love for fresh berries grown across the Golden State—and are looking forward to sharing our berries with participants at this year’s event.”

The strawberry is a real MVP in the produce section, and festival goers can’t wait to sink their teeth into mouth-watering dishes and beverages where the strawberry is the main attraction. At booth “C,” Naturipe Farms is preparing a berry special experience for visitors, a press release stated. From berry trivia questions with fun strawberry-themed prizes to locally made strawberry-flavored frozen concoctions, the booth is a must-visit for all strawberry enthusiasts. Naturipe will even have a unique photo opportunity, including customized Naturipe photo frames, for fans who would like to take a picture with Mighty Red, the jumbo strawberry mascot.

Naturipe Farms has been growing strawberries in California for more than 100 years and works with its network of farmers across the state to produce strawberries year-round. Sustainability is at the core of all its operations, from farming practices to packaging choices and transportation alternatives. Naturipe is proud to showcase this commitment during the festival and every day before and after it.
