The Koroit Cherry Farm is known for its cherries, but also grows other crops including strawberries. Specifically, they have previously grown and sold strawberries, though they have noted that the profitability of strawberries is low due to supermarket pricing. The farm utilizes the fertile volcanic soils of Koroit, which are well-regarded for producing high-quality fruit. While the farm primarily focuses on cherries, they also have a patch of 7,000 newly planted strawberries (December crop)
