Mahabaleshwar Strawberry Farm
Home to the fresh, ripe red, luscious strawberries, Mahabaleshwar, the "strawberry country" is crowned with miles of strawberry farmes which is an enchanting view for any tourist. The soul of this hill station lies in its strawberry farms which occupies about 1500 acres of land. What can be more refreshing than the sight of the rows of fruit- ladden strawberry plants that look enchanting when the soft rays of the sun paint them in soft colour. These farms look their spectacular best during May-June, as one can get the rare opportunity to pluck these tiny, sweet fruits, bathe in their sweet fragrance and the sweetness of these red berries will linger in the mouth for eternity!
Some of the well known farms are Hirkani Garden, Archies Farm, Shilpa Farm, Garden’s Green House and Mapro Garden. These farms also offer Strawberry Ice-Creams, Crushes and fresh strawberry milk shakes.
Tour the farm, learn some interesting history, rejuvenate in its serene ambience, capture the moment when these red berries are packed with tender touch, taste its sweetness and splurge on jams and jellies!
