Strawberry Fields is an unincorporated community in Yuba County, California. It is located 8 miles (13 km) northeast of Challenge,[2] at an elevation of 3757 feet (1145 m).
A post office opened in Strawberry Fields in 1855.[2] The origin of the name has two competing lines, either from wild strawberries found at the site or from two early settlers Mr. Straw and Mr. Berry.[2]
