Our favorite strawberry varieties
Justus --- You can see our thoughts on strawberry varieties here and here. That said, we don't select for shelf life --- if anything, we select against it since tastier berries tend to be softer and less prone to store well. I pick our berries at least once a day, often twice a day, so shelf life is irrelevant.
