Strawberry Fields in NJ / NJ350 Event

Michael Banick, Neighbor

Did you know that Bergen County strawberries were once considered among the best in the country?  Just in time for strawberry season, come hear the history and folklore of this fascinating berry as told by food historian Judith Krall-Russo.  There is much to learn about this popular fruit -- a lot more than just pies and jams. 

The one-hour program starts at 2 pm on Saturday, May 17.  Admission is free. 

This year is New Jersey's 350th Anniversary and the Millburn Free Public Library is celebrating with a year long series of events & programs about the Garden State.  Upcoming events include A History of the Jersey Shore (6/14), Famous Entertainers (9/20), Archaeology in NJ (10/18) and more.
