I can do the math! ...but even I might get strawberried-out. Do you sell
them for fresh consumption or do the go into processing?

Strictly retail fresh on farm market. But a few get lost and return as
strawberry rubarb wine.

From 6 acres ("damndelion" post): say 40,000 sq ft/acre, allowing 10%
for access => 240,000 sq ft or 8 sq ft/lb of berry. If rows are 3'
apart, 8 sq ft would give 2 2/3 ft (32") of row. 1 lb of berry for 32"
of row?

Just curious,
Bob

Allow 50% for access if you want people to be able to pick strawberries
without making strawberry jam at the same time.

From experience with my grandparents smallholding, not even a 12 year old can
affect the yield of a couple of acres :-)

He named his pay-rate and I told him that he could buy any tooling he needs or
wants. I gave him a set of keys and alarm codes and said he can come and go as
go pleases. I gave him access to my desk and computers but insisted he pet the
cats when they come to visit. (the cats like him, that says it all) He's got a
perfect situation with his real job just 5 minutes away and he loves to make
chips!
