They grow what people buy. Strawberries, people buy large pretty looking berries. An old variety, you may be able to buy plants was
GUARDIAN. The berries are far smaller and kind of misshapen but they are far better tasting then what is currently offered for sale.

As to,"soil," most of the villages is sandy clay with a high PH.
