how does the demand and supply of freshly grown food keep up?

I don’t get how say a strawberry grower/supplier for a major supermarket, grows and supplies continuous amounts of strawberries (or any other food item grown) to be able to supply the whole country on a mass basis.
Surely, once the ripe ones have been picked you have to wait ages for them to grow again. How on earth is there ever enough to supply so much all the time?

So grapes is a good example of, and I forget the term for it, growing in stages based on the climate of the region they are in. For example, one variety of grapes will be grown first in the northernmost area when it’s at its peak for growing, then the next region will start when it’s the best time to start, etc. so table grape(though different varieties) will always be available/“in season” and ripe as the growers take advantage of the fact that different varieties of grapes can grow in different regions who all have different climates at any given time of year. I’m sure strawberries are similar, they grown them in stages based on the region to take advantage of the peak growing climate of the region. Off season, they can be grown in greenhouses as well
