Strawberry Field near Budd Lake/Hackettstown (Sussex, Andover: live, farm, toddler)

[ryetronics]

Hi everyone

I lived in Budd Lake as a toddler in 1980 and my very first memory is of picking strawberry's in a strawberry field with my mother (making the Beatles song very reminiscent). My mother has since passed on, and my father wasn't sure exactly where this field was or what it was called.

Does anyone know where I'm talking about, and if it's still in existence today? Thank you.

hmm...i know of one place on Rt 517 outside of hackettstown, i believe it's in Green Township, but I can't for the life of me remember the name.

also, there's one in mansfield township, Donaldson's Farm. This one is closer to Hackettstown. I've taken my kids there, it was fun!

Tahiti is correct there is a strawberry farm up in Green Twp. but I think it is off of 517 on 608 may actually be in Tranquility not sure. Donalson's is nice. There is also The Sussex County Strawberry Farm on route 206 in Andover.
