Cameron Highlands Strawberry

Cameron Highlands strawberry farm is another attraction that you should not miss. There are a few of these farms as you go up the highlands starting from Tanah Rata to Kea Farm. The lowlands in other parts of Malaysia are not able to grow this fruit hence many locals enjoy coming here to experience something that is different from normal.

The strawberries industry here is well developed and there are many products that have been derived from this fruit. Remember to stop by and taste the juices, fresh fruit, sundae, jam and a variety of other products derived from this colourful fruit.

Some farms even allow you to pick the fruits directly from the plants before you purchase them. A good experience if you have not done it before.

These days, most of the strawberries are hydroponically grown and in green-houses. Using this method greatly enhances the quality of the fruit when harvested. One of the farms that you should not miss is Big Red Strawberry Farm which is located at Brinchang. The other place to get this fruit is S'Corner at Kea Farm, a town just after Brinchang. Other farms are Raju's Hill Strawberry Farm and Healthy Strawberry Farm.

As the fresh strawberries are best taken fresh, it is not a good idea to bring back home as the long journey will degrade their quality. Therefore, get some souvenirs from the gift shop just beside the cafeteria. Jams, biscuits, tea and toys are some of the products that you can purchase as souvenir for your family or friends back home.
