We, Fresh Garden Watanabe ,is cultivating the Strawberry Variety ”Tochi-Otome” in our own way which is the largest production of Strawberries in Japan.　Cultivated by using organic fertilizers and mineral-rich groundwater, these strawberries' chief characteristics are their high flavor, juicy flesh and the long-keeping qualities. We harvest them after they are ripened brightly red to bring out the original sweetness and flavor of strawberries.

Our strawberries never get spoilt because we harvest along with the vines of the strawberries, and pack without touching the red fruits. With such thorough quality control, we can deliver fresh strawberries.

OThe worst enemy for the cultivation of strawberries is the spider mites. The spider mites grow by absorbing nutrients from the strawberry seedling and obstructs growth of the plants. To eliminate the spider mites in general, variety of pesticides are used. But we deal with it in more natural way.
We do not use these harmful pesticides to prevent damage to strawberries, but we breed the mites (harmless to humans) which eliminate the spider mites. Although it is very costly and troublesome, we have been working with this farming method for many years.
