New York greenhouse grown strawberries

Just a fun post to share that I found NY-grown strawberries in a Wegmans store in Buffalo last week. Sunset “WOW”berries brand. These must be coming from the Green Empire Farm near Oneida that Mastronardi Farms opened last year (Sunset is a Mastronardi brand). The berries were on the small side but very aromatic. There were three flavors/varieties: “pearberry”, “lolliberry” and “dreamberry”, which did each have a distinct look and flavor. It will be interesting to watch how this product impacts the winter strawberry market!
