Strawberry Farm in Bulacan

This weekend, we took a day trip to the strawberry farm in Brgy. Calumpang, Calumpit, Bulacan on my sister's request. It was actually for her #strawberrychallenge post wherein she has to post something about strawberries, and being a supportive sister that I have always been, I (reluctantly) gave in to her request. Plus, it's just half an hour away from our house in Bulacan and just about an hour and a half away from Manila, so why not? Besides, buying and eating strawberry is a different feeling from picking and eating it yourself.

There are many kinds of strawberries as there are many kinds of apples. Each has a variety of shape, size, taste and color. The strawberries found here in Calumpit, Bulacan are the Hawaiian variety that can survive tropical heat and produces sweeter berries. The best part is, the owner won't charge you for the entrance fee. I repeat, NO ENTRANCE FEE.

How to get there?

Commute:

Five Star Cubao Station > Bus going to Calumpit, Bulacan ( Php. 60) > Drop off at Brgy. Calumpang, Calumpit (Landmark: Don Benito's and Enlin's) > Ride a pedicab (Php. 20 per head) then tell the driver to drop you off at Reyes Strawberry Farm.

Private car:

From Manila, take NLEX via Tabang Exit. Go straight passed Malolos Crossing and CEU Malolos until you reach Brgy. Calumpang, Calumpit Bulacan (Landmark: Don Benito's and Enlin's). Turn right then go straight. You'll see signage directions going to Reyes Strawberry Farm. You can park your car inside.

Entrance of the farm

You can buy their strawberry plant for Php. 200-300 and grow it in your backyard.

Reyes Farm doesn't only limit with strawberries, but they also have a garden of different kinds of flowers too.

And they also grow grapes and dragon fruits. Unfortunately, it's not yet their season when we visited.

No, these are not cherries! They're sili (Guyana or Wiri Wiri Pepper).

This is my sister whom I was talking about earlier.

SIDE TRIP:
