ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — It’s a good spring for strawberry lovers: Prices are unusually low in many places because cold weather delayed Florida’s harvest to coincide with California’s, and the two states are flooding the market with cheap berries.
A record number of strawberries for this time of the year were picked in the U.S. last week — 80 million pounds, said Gloria Chillon, director of marketing for Driscoll’s, a major berry producer and distributor based in Watsonville, Calif.
