Wandering Through La Presa: Fields of Calm & Strawberry Dreams

in Worldmappin3 days ago

Let's going to travel to one of the famous strawberry farm here in Mindanao and that is in La Presa Farm in Sergio Osmeña located in Zamboanga del Norte. Last two weeks ago, me and my colleague went to this place to see and discover this place together.

This was my first time going here in La Presa Farm or the Strawberry farm that is located in Zamboanga del Norte and it's more an hour of travelling from our destination of our place which was in Molave, Zamboanga del Sur to this place of Strawberry farm.

We went here almost lunch time and there were a couple of people that also visited at the place.

There is a big half strawberry built on the wall which was beside the entrance to get inside the strawberry farm but you need to pay the entrance fee just beside the entrance. The entrance fee for adult is 75php per head and 50php for kids per head.

At the time that we went here, there's a signage in front of the cashier that "no picking of strawberries".

I paid for two people in the cashier since we were only two that will go to the strawberry farm.

While entering at this strawberry farm, I was amazed by the place because there were lots of colorful flowers beside the road and you can almost see these different colors of flowers everywhere inside the entrance and when you see on the left,

there were little plants of strawberries that they put and then we walk in the center and in the aisle, where they they put the strawberry plants.

When we walked along to this path, we saw this strawberry plants everywhere and there was this chair with hats to cover our heads during hot weather and we also saw a basket with lots of strawberries on it.

I tried to touch the strawberry if it's real and yeah It was real because I thought it was plastic or some sort of decoration but when I grab one of the strawberries and smell it, hmmm, it was really a real strawberries but they were small strawberries.

I saw the strawberry plants but there were almost no strawberries in the plants and I think that it's not the season of the strawberry when we went here. I think this is best when it's strawberry season since you can pick strawberries from the plants.

lp10.jpg

We try to get the little basket that has lots of strawberries and we tried to took photos that looks like we really picked these strawberries in the plant to make it more real. I think this place is really awesome when it is the strawberry season but we didn't knew when is the strawberry season.

lp12.jpg

We also want to try to get or to pick strawberries out from the strawberry plants because it's hits different when you are the one that is picking the strawberries.

lp16.jpg

After taking photos of it, we went at the end of the farm because there's a big statue of strawberries with the name of the place which was La Presa because this was one of the most photos taken that people want to take in the Strawberry farm.

lp17.jpg

We also took photos around the place because this place was really big there were lots of small strawberry plants there were lining and at the same time, there were some flowers that they designed by themselves, too.

lp18.jpg

We saw this bicycle under a tree and we also took photos with ourselves from the bicycle. While seeing the place, we were amazed on how big the place was and on how they manage to make it more aligned to each other for these plants.

lp20.jpg

We enjoyed together as we saw this big farm in the strawberry and I think this was one of the famous strawberry farm here in Mindanao that most people wants to visit to this place. Although, our timing on going here is not good since it's not a strawberry season but I think the place is best when it is strawberry season. I also planned on buying some strawberries at that time but I wasn't since there were no strawberries that were available in their store.

Sad that it wasn’t strawberry season tho, but at least the place still looks so colorful and peaceful

It was peaceful than what it would look like when it is a strawberry season although we didn't pick some strawberries but we enjoyed a lot from going here.

Hi, I just saw Strawberry Farm for your photography. It shows a very beautiful place with a lot of results of fruits from those farms. Thank you for sharing. Have a good trip

It was a strawberry farm but it's not a strawberry season where there were lots of strawberries from plants. We expect that there were strawberries before we went here but there wasn't.

Love your captured photos Sir @vinzie1 .
Hoping I can travel there soon. Thank you for sharing these beautiful place. Greetings! 😍

You should travel to these places, I'm pretty sure that you would enjoy this because it's a big place and there were some places that you can take photos of.

Wow! The place is so peaceful and beautiful. Too bad you couldn’t pick the strawberries. However, the idea of taking photos with the basket to make it look like a real harvest was so much fun, sometimes it's all about the vibes!

Yes, it was good that they put some real strawberries in the little basket beforehand but I think that it's better to pick real strawberries from these strawberry plants.

Yes, I agree! Picking real strawberries from the plant is more fun.🤗

Sometimes I prefer off-season experiences as they turn out to be more peaceful than being part of a large crowd when most of the tourists visit. But that farm would be a great experience to also visit during the season. Looks and (smells, I think!) great!

When smell the strawberries from the small basket, It smells really good and they are real strawberries and makes me want to bite a little bit of these strwaberries.

Strawberries are not that expensive if you go directly. Its a very nice and calm place. Thanks for sharing this!

There were some places that it's really expensive because there were only a few available for these kinds of fruit especially when living in a town.

Wow, the view is really beautiful and so peaceful. It's a place where you can really relax and unwind.

Relax, unwind, and enjoy the place and yes, I really enjoyed the place because it's farm where people can pick strawberries but I think this is best when it is strawberry season.

What a place that strawberry is surrounded to that area is a fabulous place there.

Inunahan mo ako sir Vince hahahhaha.... Congratulations Sir @vinzie1 ang laki ng votes.

Always wanted to go on a strawberry farm! I tried to plant strawberries but, unfortunately, they're dead. I don't know what went wrong.

What a lovely place and the strawberry itself. I love the way you captured @vinzie1 .

I would be too happy in a place like this. I love strawberries, even more if they are fresh and big. This place is a marvel.

Picking strawberries in a place you visit is a good experience, I had to laugh about you thinking they were artificial hahahaha.

It's not a season for strawberry right? How perfectly that be

You went all in with the strawberry photos, and I love it! Anyway, I was planning to go to the strawberry farm as well, here in Malaysia also has a strawberry farm and tea farm at Cameron Highlands. My youngest daughter also favorite is strawberry, I want her to experience picking her berries!

I bet you enjoyed your tour in La Presa, and do you know what La Presa means? The Strawberry 🍓 that's what it means. Strawberry season in the Philippines is from November to May which is why there were no strawberries when you visited the place. I can feel how you feasted your eyes on the abundance of the environment with the blooming plants aside from the strawberry fields, and of course, you enjoyed the cool weather in La Presa. I have not been to that place, but in La Trinidad, Benguet, where the big strawberry fields are located, I used to stay there every summer when my father was still alive, because their Potato Pilot Project was near the area, and I often went with him. Looking at those pictures in your post, I missed Baguio and La Trinidad, Benguet. Thanks for sharing your escapade in La Presa, @vinzie1. I felt nostalgic as I remembered my father and the strawberry fields.😔

Wow! How I wish I could get there someday! It so relaxing and truly amazing. Thank you for sharing this.

what a beautiful place to spend the day colecting strawberries :D
