America’s biggest berry empire doesn’t actually grow berries.

Driscoll’s is the middleman that controls the genetics, reaps the profits, and then shifts blame.

A whistleblower alleges the Canadian government repeatedly flagged their berries for exceeding pesticide limits.

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.
