Album Description:

I had fun picking strawberries in La Trinidad Valley near Baguio in April 2010. It was also fun taking photos of the strawberry field, its Ibaloi farmers, amateur pickers and (of course!) the fruit itself. Loved the entire experience immensely!

    • This brings back memories of my childhood. My parents had several rows of stawberries in their garden and it was my job to pick them.

    • Dear Mary Ann, this looks like a fun filled excursion to the strawberry fields there in Baguio. Fruit picking is one of the end of summer events that I look forward to in San Diego. Last year, I visited a farm in Ramona to pick persimmons. I packed them ready for smoothie that I enjoy all year round. Strawberry and banana make the best smoothie, I think. I can imagine the fresh smell of strawberry in your album. Many thanks for sharing, my friend.

    • When in Baguio City, one activity that is highly recommended is strawberry picking at the Strawberry Farm in the nearby La Trinidad, Benguet. A unique experience for the whole family, you get to pick fresh strawberries -- right alongside the Ibaloi farmers -- to bring home or consume while on vacation in the Summer Capital of the Philippines. Located just 30 minutes from Baguio City, Strawberry Farm "opens its 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. All in all, strawberry picking "Baguio style" is an experience well worth it as it is the stuff that warm childhood memories are made of -- priceless even!
