Episode Synopsis "The History of Hood Strawberries with Unger Farms"

More than 65 years ago, a sweet and jam-like strawberry was bred at Oregon State University. Their deep red color and high sugar content made them perfect for food producers, but being highly perishable, other varieties soon replaced them. And that could have been the end of the story for the Hood Strawberry. That is, if it weren't for Unger Farms. Now iconic in the Pacific Northwest, Kathy Unger joins us on this episode of The Tasty Thread to talk Hood history, the three-week growing season, and where to get your hands on some of your own. (HINT: It's New Seasons Market!)
