Grow strawberries indoors year-round
Learn how vertical grow towers deliver fresh harvests every month, no matter the season or weather outside.
Grow fresh strawberries year-round indoors
Indoor vertical farming gives you complete control over growing conditions, eliminates pesticides, and delivers harvests 12 months a year. Dillon's Strawberry farm uses advanced LED lighting and climate systems to produce premium fruit in any season.
Technology that powers year-round growth
Each feature in our vertical grow towers works together to create the ideal environment for healthy, pesticide-free strawberries every month of the year.
LED grow lights
Full-spectrum LEDs deliver precise light wavelengths for photosynthesis without excess heat or energy waste.
Climate control system
Automated temperature and humidity regulation maintains optimal growing conditions day and night, eliminating seasonal variation.
Hydroponic nutrient delivery
Precision nutrient solution reaches each plant's roots on demand, eliminating soil-borne diseases and maximizing uptake efficiency.
Water recycling system
Closed-loop design captures and filters excess water, reducing consumption by up to 95% compared to traditional farming.
Vertical stacking design
Multiple growing tiers maximize yield per square foot, producing significantly more strawberries in minimal floor space.
Pesticide-free environment
Sealed, controlled environment eliminates pests naturally without chemicals, producing clean fruit from seed to harvest.
How to set up your vertical grow tower
Follow these steps to get your indoor strawberry tower running. We'll walk you through lighting, nutrients, temperature, and planting so you're ready to harvest in weeks, not months.

Your indoor farming questions answered
Find practical answers to common concerns about growing strawberries indoors with vertical grow towers.
What LED light spectrum works best for strawberries?
Strawberries thrive under a mix of red and blue LEDs. Red light promotes flowering and fruit development, while blue light strengthens leaves and stems. A 3:1 ratio of red to blue typically delivers the best results for indoor towers at Dillon's Strawberry Farm.
How do you prevent mould in a vertical grow tower?
Mould thrives in stagnant, humid air. Keep humidity between 60-75% using a dehumidifier if needed, ensure consistent airflow with a small fan, and space plants to allow air circulation. Regular inspection of leaves catches early growth before it spreads.
What temperature range do indoor strawberries need?
Strawberries grow best between 15-25°C during the day and 10-15°C at night. Consistent temperatures prevent stress and reduce disease risk. Our vertical towers include climate control systems that maintain these ranges year-round without fluctuation.
Which strawberry varieties work best indoors?
Day-neutral and everbearing varieties perform well indoors because they flower regardless of daylight hours. Popular choices include Albion, San Andreas, and Portola. These varieties produce continuously and adapt better to controlled indoor environments than June-bearing types.
How often should I harvest strawberries from a tower?
Ripe berries are ready every 3-5 days during peak growing season. Check towers twice weekly and pick fruit when fully red. Regular harvesting encourages more flowering and extends your harvest window through the year.
How does the nutrient system work in vertical towers?
Dillon's Strawberry Farm vertical towers use hydroponic systems where nutrient-rich water circulates through the roots. The system delivers consistent nutrition without soil, reduces water waste by 90%, and allows precise control of pH and nutrient levels for optimal growth.
