"Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever....."
Jeez, that Beatles song will definitely be running in your head while walking in Strawberry Farm in La Trinidad, Benguet.Baguio City is famous for fresh, sweet and delicious strawberries. However, these berries are not grown in Baguio but in its adjacent municipality of La Trinidad.
Just a short trip from Baguio (about 3o minutes at most), La Trinidad is known as The Strawberry Fields of the Philippines". It is also where the Provincial Capitol of Benguet is located. Also famous for its roses and fresh vegetables, La Trinidad serves as the Trading Center for Benguet, Education Center for Benguet and Seat of several Regional Offices
Other than the fresh strawberries which you can personally pick from the field, tourists can also purchase several strawberry products like wines, jams and preseves. And here is a nice fact: La Trinidad is in the Guinness Book of World Recordsfor having the "Largest Fruit Shortcake”.
So, when you go up to Baguio, take a short trip to La Trinidad and more particularly in its famous Strawberry Fields.
Who doesn't want to be there? um um ...not me.
