The 4-H Strawberry project area consists of two project manuals. Each manual covers one year of activities.

- Strawberry Harvesting - Harvest the berries from plants started in strawberry planting project the previous year. Records of labor, income and expenses are kept. If you want to enlarge the planting, you should enroll in strawberry planting, also.
