While indulging in my post-Christmas trip to Baguio last year, I decide to go on a little side trip: Strawberry Farm in La Trinidad, Benguet. Well, yeah, this is no longer part of Baguio and is, at least, a 30-minute jeep ride away. But boy, this place left me humming The Beatles’ Strawberry Fields Forever for more than a week!

I guess you're already aware that picking your own strawberries here is insanely more expensive than getting it in the market. You can typically get a pack for more or less 100 pesos. But inside the farm, a basket of freshly picked strawberries will cost you more than 200 pesos! But don't worry, entrance and picture taking is definitely free.  |

I
was like a 5-year-old girl on the loose excited to pick strawberries and take
pictures of the breathtaking scene! Aside from strawberries, I also saw oranges,
lettuce, cucumbers, and a variety of other crops planted there.

How to get to
Strawberry Farm for Dummies:
I can only
give you the same directions we took:
- Go to Session Road.
- Look for the public jeeps going to La Trinidad. (How? Ask around.)
- Tell the driver to drop you off at Strawberry Farm.
- After 30 minutes or less, voila! :)
I have no idea what you’re going to do if you have your own car, although I think that’d be easier. That being said, I suggest you hit Google Map. :)
