The strawberry fields
Located just 30 minutes from Baguio City, Strawberry Farm "opens it doors" for the activity
from November to May every year.
The rates for strawberry picking vary. In general, it costs twice the market price to pick
your own strawberries, which folks find strange, especially those who have tried apple or orange picking in orchards in other countries thinking they provide "free labor."
The difference here is that strawberries are a very delicate fruit compared to apples
and oranges and a lot are actually ruined or wasted when harvested by 'amateurs.'
So half the cost is for the strawberries, and the other half is for the activity itself.
There's no minimum amount per person, by the way, they just weigh how much you all
have picked together and you're charged for it.
Baguio City is a very beautiful place. There is a lot of place you can visit, including,
Camp John Hay, Strawberry Farm, Mines View Park, and The Mansion. Baguio
is a very unique place because of its cold weather, especially during the month of
December until February. But, sometimes it is very hot, that it can destroy the environment
due to climate change. A lot of tourists go to our city, to cool off or to entertain themselves.
The city has a lot of pine trees, which gives the cold and icy breeze of air. It is also known
for the Strawberry Farm plantation in La trinidad. At the Mines View park you will see a lot of
high breed horses which you can take a ride from.
