This document summarizes a project to test sustainable strawberry production systems for Mississippi and surrounding markets. Field trials were conducted with seven cultivars under conventional and organic systems. Post-harvest tests analyzed fruit quality after harvest, shipping, and storage. A short course was also held to train growers, extension agents, and others. Preliminary results found that organic and conventional crops can be successfully grown, though deer damage was an issue. Interest from consumers, grocers, and restaurants suggests potential for expansion of the local strawberry industry in Mississippi.
