Strawberries,anyone?
It
took me 34years before I finally made it to Baguio’s much-visited Strawberry
Farm. I have been to Baguio City for countless times- -visiting its tourist
attractions-- but no one in my group ever suggested that we go to the farm… Although
I am not a big fan of strawberries, I just want to experience how it’s like picking
these fruits.
The
farm is located at La Trinidad, Benguet—just in the outskirt of Baguio City. It
is best to go there early in the morning, maybe around 7 am or earlier. From your hotel (ours is located in Leonard Wood Road), hire a taxi cab that will take you there for about 20 to 30
minutes. We paid 100php (more or
less) for the ride.
Per
kilo of strawberries cost 350 pesos.
But we were able to bargain for Php 300/kilo. Although it’s still expensive as compared
to the strawberries being sold, remember that we are paying for the ‘experience’ and the fruits.
Besides
the fresh fruits, also try their strawberry flavored taho ( 30 pesos) and ice cream (20 pesos). I highly recommend
it since it tastes so good!
Better
yet, why not take these ‘ pasalubongs’
with you. J
