Best shot is probably Dwarf Orinoco.

Its gets about 5-8 feet of pstem (easier to dig up and move around), cold hardy (slightly longer growing season than other varieties), and people have had good success dry storing it during the winter. Figure it will take you at least three seasons with fruit harvested at the end of the third season.
