Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Pick the strawberry varieties you use most in your kitchen
There are many varieties of strawberries offering different levels of sweetness and different sizes. The variety of strawberry you choose to use in your dish should depend on the intensity of the sweetness you want in the dish.
I recommend:
The National Gardening Association offers an extensive information on strawberry plant varieties and their characteristics to help you choose the best strawberry varieties for the dishes on your menu. They also offer information on how to grow, harvest and care for the strawberry plants and seeds. The Oregon Strawberry Commission hosts a page on their site with a listing of strawberry varieties which includes pictures and detailed information about each variety.
Find reputable strawberry plant growers offering strawberry plants for sale
The best place to find the highest quality strawberries is at a local farmer's market or strawberry grower in your area. Another option, especially if you want more control over the quality, size and flavors of the strawberries, is to grow them yourself. This can be done by planting strawberry seeds or plants in Spring and tenderly caring for them until Summer.

Purchase wholesale strawberries to save money
To save money on strawberries, purchase them wholesale. This is especially good if you need large quantities of strawberries, need an assortment of varieties, or want to split the cost between two restaurants. Many wholesalers will offer you loyalty or advance ordering discounts also.
