Maloray strawberry farm in Dalaguete

Maloray Strawberry Farm at Sergio’s Farm is making waves in the Province of Cebu. The farm is located in the Municipality of Dalaguete, a popular area for farming and dubbed as “vegetable basket” of Cebu.

From Cebu City, it takes around 3 hours to reach Barangay Mantalongon, and then to Maloray where the strawberry is precisely to be found.

Sergio’s strawberry farm, among other agricultural products, is the only one know to be producing strawberries in the province or anywhere else in Visayan Region. The famous producer of fruits is Baguio, of course!

However, as the farm is known for, strawberries including other veggies, are surely healthy because they do not use chemicals and other artificial means to grow them.

Personally picking strawberries at Sergio’s Farm was once practice to be more interesting, however, due to some scrupulous guests that did unbecoming than good, the management now only allows its farm staff to pick for you! However still, you would find your visit exciting.

The strawberries are only available on weekends, and so keep in mind that if you want to travel that far (especially from Cebu), you can only enjoy them on weekends. That is because they offer only limited amount of strawberry fruits.

Aside from the fresh fruits and vegetables, you can as well purchase their products and keep them for some time – pickles and jams.

Sergio’s Farm sells pickled radish for a price of PhP50 a jar. Pickled radish goes very well with grilled or fried meats. If you do not like the fresh radish – as it tastes strong – you might like the pickled one as they taste milder and probably better!
