Origin
California and Florida are the top two strawberry-producing states within the U.S., with California producing over 91 percent of the entire strawberry crop (NASS, 2015). Florida, however, produces the majority of the domestic winter strawberry crop (Florida Strawberry Growers Association, 2014) (Mossier, 2012).
