I grew up on a rather small farm with a ~3 acre strawberry operation.
My favorite variety was Red Chief. My Dad said there weren't any
decent everbearing varieties, so we only grew Junebearing.

About 10 years ago, I tried a bed of everbearers. I was not told the
variety when I bought them, only that the company had "too much" of this
specific variety. They didn't amount to much.

I have a small area I'm considering planting to strawberries again,
and was wondering if there have been any everbearing varieties worth
mentioning that may have come out in the past 10 years?

I like the idea of getting a few berries here and there for a long
season. However, my experience has been closer to having healthy
looking plants, and a berry once a week - even with 80 plants.

Thanks!

Can't really answer to ever bearing berries but Early Glows are
wonderful. I think we tried some ever bearing and were unimpressed.
Early Glows have a great flavor. They will not transport well which
is why you do not see them in the grocery stores.
