Short Season
The strawberry season is relatively short, starting
early in May and ending about June 1 - but it's long
enough for everyoneto get his or her share.
Crates of strawberries sell especiallyfast on StrawberryFestivalDay,so thosewishingto buy are reminded
to get their share as early in the day as possible.
Growers will be in Stilwell on FestivalDay to sell
berries near the band stand where much of the action
takes place.
Hundreds of people, including migrant workers,
sfudents and housewives,jump in each year to harvest
lhe strawberry crop.
A goodpicker.canpick about 1OOquart boxesin a six
hour day.A few yearsago,73 pickerspicked25Ocrates
lrom 2/z acres for one of the best days on record anywhere in the county.
Local strawberry growers like the Cardinal variety
best.Other popularvarietiesincludeSunriseand Early
Go.
The experienced pickers use a variety of positions.
Some stoop,others squat, kneel or sit. Thosewho sit say
they remainseatedand scootfrom one plantto the next.
The crop is sold at Stilwell area marketsand to retail
outlets in Tulsa, Muskogee,Fort Smith, Ark.' and other
cities.
