The juicy red strawberries are a favorite among tennis fans during the Wimbledon tournament in London. Each year, over 38.4 tons of strawberries, equivalent to 1.92 million strawberries, are picked and enjoyed during the two-week event. A team of pickers at Hugh Lowe Farms in Kent rises early each day to harvest the fruit before sending it to the All England Club.
Wimbledon’s director of operations, Michelle Dite, assured that the strawberries for this year are just as they should be for the tournament, despite concerns about the wet weather affecting their juiciness or size. Keeping strawberries at an affordable price is important as it is part of the iconic Wimbledon experience, along with other traditional offerings like champagne and Pimm’s. Working with strawberry grower Marion Regan in Kent, the organizers are pleased with the two million strawberries sold at Wimbledon annually.
