What variety of strawberries to plant?

[TacticalSpeed]

The ones we've had for a couple years or so barely give us any strawberries each summer.
What varieties are easiest to get decent yields from? I'm in PA.

Howdy and welcome. I'm not a big strawberry grower myself but I did some research on Pennsylvania for you.

The varieties below were named by both Penn State and AI in answer to a search question. Others were mentioned but these were the ones named by both.

Sweet Kiss Strawberry: This variety is a fast grower and produces a large yield. It's perfect for beginners and can be grown in containers1.

 Earliglow Strawberry: Widely planted in Pennsylvania, this strawberry produces large, sweet berries that are great for eating raw or making jams.

 Jewel Strawberry: Known for its cold-hardiness and large berries, this variety also stores well and can be frozen.

I have "everbearing" strawberries. I don't know if that is an actual kind of strawberry or just a name but they seem to produce a lot, birds get most of them lol. But I don't do anything to them other then weed around them and they keep spreading and growing new plants so low maintenance, perfect for me.

I grow the old-fashion varieties like 'Tioga', 'red gauntlet', 'Hoko Wasi' and 'Cambridge vigor'. They are planted in winter and have three settings of fruit in September, Christmas time and in autumn (Nth Hemi - plant winter and 3 crops in spring and summer). They need heavily composted soil, are salt intolerant and require irrigation if drying out, and a lot of seaweed foliar spray at fruiting times. Normally planted on mounded soil about 8" high (200mm) and a flattened top to take two rows of alternating plants 300mm (1'0") apart.
The newer varieties are only harvested once but provide massive sprawling crops. I have never planted the newer type but will sometime soon.
