Strawberry Farms

Ladang Strawberi

Cameron Highlands is almost the only place in Malaysia where strawberries are grown on a large scale; greenhouse farms offer self-picking, strawberry shakes and strawberry desserts.

Thanks to its cool climate, the Cameron Highlands is almost the only area in Malaysia where strawberries can be grown on a large scale. Strawberry farms, big and small, are spread around Brinchang and Kea Farm, mostly using raised greenhouse planters that let visitors pick standing up. The best known are Big Red Strawberry Farm and Raaju's Hill Strawberry Farm near Brinchang. You can pay to enter a greenhouse and pick your own (priced by weight at about RM 40–80 per kg, which is more than market prices; check on site), or order strawberry shakes, strawberry pancakes, chocolate-dipped strawberries and strawberry ice cream at the farm restaurants, and buy strawberry jam. Some farms also grow vegetables, lettuce and tomatoes, which you can see too. Compared with lowland tropical strawberries, these are smaller and more tart, so think of picking as an experience. Getting there: about 10–15 minutes by taxi from Tanah Rata. Note: Inside the greenhouses, follow staff instructions for picking, do not trample plants or eat fruit before paying, and expect queues on weekends.
