Delphi Strawberry Service is the cover name for Camp Half-Blood. The camp grows strawberries to pay for their expenses. The campers help pick and grow the strawberries, and the satyrs play on their reed pipes to make magic. There is a sign that says: Pick Your Own Strawberries Please.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
The Lightning Thief
When Percy left the beach at Montauk and fled to Camp-Half Blood with his mom and Grover , he read signs that said "Pick Your Own Strawberries" on white picket fences, which Annabeth later told him that mortals see Camp Half-Blood as a strawberry field. Although the name "Delphi Strawberry Service" was not mentioned, Chiron explained to Percy that they grew strawberries for export to restaurants in New York and Mount Olympus. The camp director, Mr. D (Dionysus, god of wine), can make fruit-bearing plants grow with no effort, although it works best for wine grapes (but is not allowed since Mr. D is forbidden to drink wine).
The Last Olympian
When the campers were heading to Queens-Midtown Tunnel in The Last Olympian, they traveled in three white vans that said Delphi Strawberry Service (one van driven by Argus and the other two by harpies).
