Outside the Strawberry Farm in La Trinidad Benguet….

You can buy strawberries ranging from P75 -P120 per kilo depending on the size and quality of the strawberries. There are also native handicrafts and Strawberry Wines sold.

Aside from Strawberries, you can also buy fresh vegetables like broccoli, potatoes, chayote, mushrooms, cabbage and onions for very low price.

I was surprised to find out that there’s also Bluberries being sold. It’s relatively small from the imported blueberries found at grocery stores here in Manila but it’s great that they were able to plant blueberries locally.

This marks the end of my Baguio Adventure.

Strawberry Farm, La Trinidad Benguet

We needed to wake up early the next day to go to the Strawberry Farm in La Trinidad Benguet. Thank God for noise cancelling ear buds , the key to my deep slumber. It drowned out even the noise of the early wakers who were taking jumpshots outside of the hotel.

After getting my Strawberry Taho fix from Mines View Park, it was time to get Fresh Strawberry Dirt Ice Cream at the Strawberry farm entrance. They cost P15 per cone and it was delicious.

The cost of picking strawberries from the farm is P300 per kilo. It is triple the amount of what you have to pay for a kilo if you opt to just buy instead of pick your own.

Where To Go In Baguio: Mines View Park

Mines View Park is one of the most popular tourist attraction in Baguio. Like what I told you, I’ve been to Baguio back when I was six or seven years old and that was Circa 1980’s. The photo below is that of me and my nanay.

I can still remember before, you can see a panoramic view of Benguet’s gold and copper mines and the surrounding mountains from the observation deck. And there were young igorots, catching coins down below the rocky incline.

Today, much more than Benguet’s gold and copper mines {If it’s still there}, you can see many houses surrounding the area.

The mountains are still there and you can rent a binocular for P10 per 15 minutes to check them out.
