To qualify as ‘organic,’ the cultivation of soft fruit must meet many conditions, such as growing in open ground and avoiding the use of pesticides. At Beekers Berries, we carefully weigh all choices for healthy and sustainable cultivation. For example, we don’t grow our strawberries in open ground but in height-adjustable containers, so our pickers can pick at an ergonomic height. Moreover, we focus as much as possible on biological pest control and the use of natural predators. Only when absolutely necessary do we use conventional pesticides, and even then, in the smallest amounts possible. We strive for efficient cultivation with minimal waste. Read more about this on our sustainability page.

Therefore, our cultivation doesn’t fall under the ‘organic’ category, but it is as sustainable and healthy as possible based on our expertise.

At Beekers Berries, we primarily use biological pest control and natural predators. Read more about this on our sustainability page. Only when absolutely necessary do we use conventional pesticides. We try to avoid this as much as possible and always stay at least half below the allowed norm. Of course, none of these pesticides pose a risk to human consumption.

During the cultivation of the tastiest berries, some sand or dirt might get on the fruits. If you want to remove this, we recommend gently washing the fruit under running water. Do this only when you are about to eat the fruit and only hull strawberries after washing. This reduces the chance of damage and preserves the flavour of the soft fruit.

Since soft fruit is naturally quite delicate, we’d like to offer some tips to help you enjoy your berries to the fullest:

• Store in a cool place: Store unwashed soft fruit in the refrigerator. The lower temperature helps maintain freshness and slows the ripening process.
• Spread on a flat plate: Lay the berries out on a flat plate. This prevents them from piling on top of each other and causing damage, which helps prolong their shelf life.
• Use absorbent kitchen paper: Place a sheet of absorbent kitchen paper under the berries on the plate. This helps absorb excess moisture and prevents the berries from becoming damp, which can reduce mold formation.
• Do not wash before refrigerating: Do not wash the berries before storing them in the refrigerator. Water can affect the texture of the berries and increase the risk of mold.
• Bring to room temperature: If you want to eat the berries, gently remove them from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature. This improves both the taste and texture.
• Do you want to wash the fruit? Do so just before consumption. This reduces the risk of damage and preserves the flavour. Note: Hull strawberries only after washing.

By following these simple tips, you can maintain the freshness and quality of soft fruit, allowing you to enjoy it longer.
