Hydroponic tabletop strawberry concept to promote category growth April 01 , 2021 The first-ever Ocean Spray specialty berry pack will be released this fall and is backed by a trio of partners with plans to boost the category with a tabletop strawberry proposition. New Wave Berry, LLC is a joint venture formed by grower, marketer and distributor Oppy, family-owned agribusiness Red Dog Management and agricultural investment firm Farmers Gate. Its new hydroponic tabletop strawberry line will be grown in a newly-constructed high tunnel facility in Santa Maria, California. As Oppy already has a partnership with Ocean Spray, the venture looks to further advance strawberry production practices and "bring a uniquely sustainable item to market".
