Strawberries make flowers and the center of it turns into the fruit because that's where it's being pollinated. The farming technique for growing strawberries is in the matted row system which means plant the strawberries around 18 inches apart from each other.

How are strawberries assembled and packaged for the consumer?

They are assembled from the fields and hand picked, then they go into containers.

How do these foods reach the consumer? Not just delivery, but are they frozen or processed in any other ways?

Once the strawberries are picked they go inside coolers to cool them down and then once they're ready they're delivered in refrigerator trucks.

Typically, how long would strawberries shelf life be?

They usually last in a fridge for up to a week, but eating moldy strawberries will not hurt you and you can just rinse the mold off.

Are there any local growers/markers of this food? If not, where is the nearest ‘farm’ producing it?
