Visited the most famous strawberry farm in the Philippines.


Everytime I visit Baguio, visiting this farm in La Trinidad, which is the capital of Benguet, is always on the list. As a Filipino who doesn't eat strawberries often times, and as a Manileno who can't buy them fresh, going to Strawberry Farm somewhat gives me an excitement to eat them as I pick them.


So here is your La Trinidad Strawberry Farm DIY guide.



ABOUT LA TRINIDAD STRAWBERRY FARM

The Strawberry Farm is located in the nearby town of La Trinidad, Benguet, about less than 10 kms away or 30 minutes travel time from the center of Baguio. You can also side-trip Bell Church and Stobosa Hillside along the way.


Upon entering the gate of La Trinidad Strawberry Farm, you’ll notice that there is a wide space surrounded by souvenir stalls. On the opposite side, you’ll see a giant sculpture of a strawberry. You can take pictures from here.


THINGS TO DO INSIDE STRAWBERRY FARM

Strawberry Picking
 

Strawberry Picking

As the name suggests, the main attractions in La Trinidad Strawberry Farm are the strawberries. Picking strawberries is one of the activities you can do here though it is optional. Harvesting your own strawberries is a bit pricey, that costs P350 per kilo.

If you are on a budget and still wanted to take home strawberries, I suggest that you buy a fresh-fetched ones instead for P150-P180 per kilo. The only downside is that they always get out of stock. In the end, you will just look for strawberries in the market.

Strawberry in the Philippines

The strawberry picking season is from November to May. You don’t have to reserve slots, but the best time to go is in the morning, when there’s not a lot of people yet.

The Strawberry Farm also produces other fruits and vegetables, but most people just go to pick strawberries. They say that this farm has the best sunset view in La Trinidad Valley. The natural flowing water around the farm is used to water the strawberries.


You can opt to have a guide who will give you a basket and assist you in picking the ripe fruits. The strawberry is the only fruit with seeds on the outside. It grows very close to the ground and is a member of the rose family. You can succumb to the temptation to eat it and taste for yourself if it’s really sweet.


Vegetable Picking


Aside from the strawberries, you’ll also see different vegetable species grown here. Among them are cabbage, lettuce, spring onions, tomatoes, pechay, broccoli, and many more. I guess these are back-up crops of the farmers since strawberries are seasonal.


Try Strawberry Ice Cream and Taho

There are also local peddlers selling strawberry taho and ice cream. Don’t miss trying these out.


Buy Souvenirs

And if this place is your last destination of your trip, then I suggest that you buy your souvenirs here, too.


HOW TO GET TO LA TRINIDAD STRAWBERRY FARM

From the public market, ride a jeepney bound for La Trinidad. Fare is less than P20. I suggest you visit in the morning to avoid being stuck with the traffic especially for those who are bringing private vehicles. Parking will take long if you are going during rush hours (same with exiting).

From Manila to Baguio, you can ride buses such as Joy Bus and Victory Liner.

The Bell Church is a Chinese temple of the Chinese Filipino indigenous religious organization of the same name in La Trinidad, Benguet, Philippines.


ABOUT BELL CHURCH

Bell Church is a Taoist temple that is known to be one of the most peaceful places in the city. A striking pagoda and beautifully landscaped gardens soothe the soul even before you enter the temple.


Bells, dragons and flags welcome you to this Chinese temple that is calmly spiritual and incredibly tranquil. There is even a lotus pond that adds to the beauty of this serene temple.

MY VISIT TO BELL CHURCH 

Visiting Bell Church is something you can just add up if you have a loose itinerary. Going to this place will give you the need to go to a jeepney terminal in Slaughter House Area along Magsaysay Ave. for you to get a jeepney ride bound to La Trinidad.


Bell Church is actually located in the boundary of Baguio and La Trinidad. Visitors make this a sidetrip to Strawberry Farm which is a few meters away from here and today's famous Stobosa Hillside or the Valley of Colors which I haven't seen yet during my visit here in 2012.

Once you see the welcome sign to La Trinidad, you will be dropped off in front of the entrance along Magsaysay Ave. The temple itself is not yet seen from here. You need to walk and hike up to reach the site that will give you a vantage point of the rest of Baguio City.


The pathway is easy to track as it is surrounded by a residential area. Chinese exteriors and signs are already visible from here as you walk to the temple. 


You will be welcomed by these two lion sculptures upon entering the outside area of the temple. The whole place will really gives you a Chinese ambiance. It is surrounded by plants and trees too. The temple is located at this level. There's no entrance fee.


Some levels will give you another view of Quirino Hill in Baguio City.


At the time of our visit in 2012, we weren't able to get inside the actual temple. We just decided to explore and took some photos.

We took a short rest then we headed to Strawberry Farm after.
