Walk around the farm
At the Genting Strawberry Leisure Farm, the strawberries with seedlings originated from California, which were supposed to fruit throughout the year here at Genting Highlands due to the generally lower temperature.
Once the buds bloom, the fruits will appear in a week’s time.
The fruiting cycle is three months and after five fruiting, the plant has to be replaced. There are some 10,000 plants in this farm!
The strawberry is a widely grown hybrid species of the genus Fragaria, collectively known as the strawberries, which are cultivated worldwide for their fruit.
The fruit is widely appreciated for its characteristic aroma, bright red color, juicy texture, and sweetness.
It is consumed in large quantities, either fresh or in such prepared foods as jam, juice, pies, ice cream, milkshakes, and chocolates.
In 2019, world production of strawberries was nine million tons, led by China with 40% of the total.
Raw strawberries are 91% water, 8% carbohydrates, 1% protein, and contain negligible fat.
A 100 gram reference amount of strawberries supplies 33 kilocalories, is a rich source of vitamin C, and a good source of manganese.
Strawberries are not the only cultivation – mushrooms, herbs, flowers and hydroponic vegetables are also grown here commercially in adjoining nurseries.
Within the six-acre land is the Lavender Garden. No extra admission fee is imposed on visitors to enter the garden. Besides lavender, there are many other types of flowers.
Flower gardens, mock windmills and rose bushes beautifully aligned around the farm provide colourful photo opportunities and memorable moments.
In the Genting Strawberry Leisure Farm, visitors could opt to purchase pre-packed strawberries at the price of RM15 per box weighing 250 grammes, or self-pick and paying by weight from every 100 grammes for RM8 – this is a very popular family activity.
