We started an independent company because our mission at California Berry Cultivars, LLC is to provide high quality cultivars to the strawberry industry. In order to do that we need the freedom to operate in a manner that best serves the strawberry industry rather than an individual company. As an independent LLC we are able to fulfill this mission. Finally, the industry is undergoing many changes and it will take a diverse set of stakeholders to solve the challenges the industry faces. At CBC we view ourselves as a natural complement to the multitude of public and private researchers currently working on these challenges.

Yes. We plan on making our strawberry cultivars available to the California, U.S., and international markets.
