About Sugartown Strawberries
Sugartown Strawberries is located on Willisbrook Farm, approximately 230 acres in Chester County, Pennsylvania. This is a working farm, and has been in the family since 1896. In 1996, Governor Ridge came to visit and help us celebrate becoming a Pennsylvania Century Farm.

The farm has 100 acres of tillable land, 50 acres of pastureland, and 80 acres of woodland. More than 20 horses are boarded on the farm.
"Farmer Bob", as the kids call him, is Robert Lange, who has worked the farm full time since 1987. Other "members of the family" that the kids look forward to seeing are Sassy, an English setter, and Rebel, a flat coated retriever.
Farmer Bob and his family have protected a good portion of the
family farm in perpetuity. There are rare Serpentine Barrens, and many beautiful acres of forests and easements. In fact, 112 acres of the original farm have been gifted, protected or donated toward the goal of preserving open space in Willistown Township.
