It is my belief that Publix has a lot of clout with it's huge buying power and I am sure growers give them the best as they are such a big dependable customer. I picked strawberries from my grandfather's garden as a little girl and have enjoyed them every year since. I am absolutely sure they aren't artificially colored. They may have been grown with fertilizer and pesticides but so are strawberries almost everywhere or the bugs would get them.

I say to you that those Publix strawberries were good and yummy, and I only had to throw two berries out, of three pints. Six dollars for three pints. I was pleased.
