Oya Strawberry Club
Let’s enjoy many kinds of flavor throughout four seasons!
You can enjoy strawberries from “Strawberry kingdom” throughout the year using the latest technology.
As a part of Oya district revitalization project in Utsunomiya City, we cultivate strawberries throughout the year and produce “Natsu Otome” strawberries even in summer. We use tubes to pull up the cryogenic energy (the cool air and water) from the underground quarry to cool the crown of the plant. This system is created by Utsunomiya City cooperated with government, industry and academia.
<Picking season:【“Natsu Otome” June ~ December】
【“Tochi Otome”・“Tochi Aika” December ~ May】>
As a training base for successor of farmers, we accept trainees in strawberry production. Also, we are working on an initiative (cooperation with agricultural and welfare) that allows people with disabilities to participate in society with confidence and purpose in life through activities in the agricultural field.
