Although it was a tough start for most Sörmland farmers, most believe they can deliver a certain amount before midsummer.
- It was a tough start with long and cold nights, but since then we have had a fairly long period with both rain and sun.
It has kicked off properly, says Lars Hermelin, farmer at Mariebergs Säteri.
Greenhouse
To secure a certain amount of old men before midsummer, many have chosen to grow with the help of fibrous fabric or in greenhouses.
- It was a tough start but we have started to get some red strawberries now.
However, we have started selling strawberries on a small scale from our greenhouses, says Peter Johansson, farmer at Solby farm in Eskilstuna.
First come
Last year, between 3,000-5,000 liters were picked from the greenhouses in Tomtekulla in Tystberga the day before midsummer.
- We want to try to be able to guarantee strawberries by midsummer and therefore we have the greenhouse, says Fredrik Larsson, farmer.
