Inside the Nursery

It's been sometime since we last posted, so we thought we share with you some pictures from inside the DaddyBerry Strawberry Nursery. Will be posting more pictures soon, but here's a taste.View Pictures

DaddyBerry’s Reported Missing …

What’s the likelihood that a fresh batch of delicious strawberries from Portugal could make it to the UK without disappearing? Well we thought it would be no sweat -- given that people from all over the world, send valuable items via priority mail, DaddyBerry’s could make a quick trip. But it seems that’s not the case.

This is not the first time DaddyBerry’s have been reported missing; something tells us that it won’t be the last either.

The search continues … update to follow …

Meet Chief Daddy Berry & CEO

Since we announced that DaddyBerry premium strawberries will be available across Europe, we’ve got some inquiry as to: who's really DaddyBerry? Well on the next few posts, will be introducing you to some of the individuals that make DaddyBerry unlike any other strawberry available.

Will be starting with the Chief Daddy & CEO, my father Armando Machado - who is credited for starting our tasty strawberry nursery.

(unfortunately my father’s English isn’t as good as his strawberries, so the questions where asked in Portuguese and translated in English)

(Me): How did it all begin?

(Chief Daddy): I’ve been an entrepreneur all of my life and always looking for a new adventure. My first business was a little supermarket in Toronto, Canada where I sold everything from fruits and vegetables to small treats. I learned a lot of about quality fruits, what customers wanted and how important fresh produces are for our health and of course for cooking. After my adventure with the supermarket, I came back to Portugal and started a little café in a city called Olhao here in Algarve. That business turned out to be very interesting but at the end day I realized a café is no place for my family to work – full of smoke and tempting pastries.

daddyberry strawberries whip across europe

We just sent our first Press Release for the launch of DaddyBerry strawberries. We're quite excited to share our story with supermarkets and new distribution partners across Europe.

 

 

yummy strawberry season

We’re getting ready for another yummy strawberry season here at the DaddyBerry nursery.

Right now we've got the first set of DaddyBerry’s leaving the nursery, it’s a happy time for everyone, we get to see the fruit of our labor and our customers get to eat the strawberries they've been longing for. This is also an exciting year for us, as we're opening our doors to testing DaddyBerry's in markets across Europe . Customers who know our berries tell us its time to let the secret out...so here we come!

We have tons of work ahead of us and right now very little time for watching the uefa champions league games on the tele. 

A closer look into the DaddyBerry Nursery

It’s Sunday evening and I’m playing around with the setting of our blog and thought, I would experiment posting some pictures of DaddyBerry and give the world wide web a closer look into the Nursery.

The big picture on the left - DaddyBerry Jrs, they still have a long way to go before graduating to a DaddyBerry, but they're on their way.
