Leamington greenhouse producing fresh strawberries in February

Orangeline Farms is a Leamington, Ont.-based greenhouse grower that sells their produce under the name "Zing! Healthy Foods."

While the majority of their crop are peppers of various shapes, sizes and heat, they're also one of the first companies in Ontario to grow strawberries in greenhouses.

In Ontario, strawberry season traditionally takes place in June and July. You can also sometimes find hardier day-neutral strawberries from May to October.

Now, thanks to greenhouse technology, you can enjoy fresh, Ontario strawberries in the dead of winter.
