I rarely even see Driscoll's brand berries that aren't already moldy on the store shelves. When I worked Fresh at Walmart, we'd end up dumping 1/4 to 1/2 of the product from them because they were already moldy on the truck. And these are from local producers here around the Valley, it's not a matter of them being in transit hella long.

Get Driscolls if you want fruit that tastes like tap water.
In general, buy local, in-season fruit where you can.

Their fruit really sucks. I refuse to buy it. Getting fresh blueberries from the farms this summer was the tits.
Their strawberries are awful. Rock solid, not always fully ripe and red and with zero flavour. We stopped buying them.
replies:
I found this video interesting, and the farmer talking about how hard it is to get their berries into stores because why would the store deal with a bunch of farmers when they can deal with one company. So the issue isn't just merging of all berries under one company but the merge of grocery stores under a handful of companies.

These shitty click bait titles and videos are such a dumpster fire.

You mean Driscoll's mold berries?
I love Driscoll's old fashioned molded berries in the morning and the evening. The mold adds flavor.
The US is a fucking joke
replies:
Think I need to just get a big enough freezer so that I can pick and freeze a years supply of fruit when it's free to pick your own at around this time of year.
Already made a couple of apple/pear crumbles this year. Plus about 8L of plum mead.
