Cameron Highlands Strawberry Farms — Picking, Prices & Which to Visit (2026)

The photo above is Cameron tea country — illustrative, not a specific strawberry farm. We’ll add a licensed on-site photo when we have one.

The quintessential Cameron day out — pick your own strawberries and eat your weight in strawberry waffles and ice cream. Most of the visitor farms cluster around Kea Farm and Brinchang (Big Red, Raju’s Hill, Kok Lim, EQ), with the calmer Healthy Strawberry Farm down near Tanah Rata. Honest expectation-setting: entry is free, but the picking itself is charged by weight and works out pricey for the small amount you get from what is often a modest greenhouse — and off-season the berries can be small and tart. It’s a fun, photogenic stop for families; it’s not a cheap fruit haul.

Where

Brinchang

Time needed

45 minutes to ~1.5 hours per farm

Hours

Daily, roughly 8:30am–6pm (varies by farm; can be shorter in the wet months)

Best months

Weekday mornings — soon after opening, before the 11am–3pm weekend crowds. Berries are sweetest in the drier months and smaller/more tart in the rainy season and the July–September low-crop window

What it costs

Entry to the farms is free — you only pay if you pick your own, charged by weight, typically around RM 25–40 for a 500g box. (One source lists a small ~RM 5 entry at Raju’s Hill that includes a punnet, but others say free; confirm at the gate.) Treat figures as indicative.

What to expect

Free entry — you only pay by weight if you pick your own (~RM 25–40 / 500g box)
The café treats are the real draw: strawberry waffles, ice cream, chocolate-dipped berries, scones
Big Red is the biggest and most facility-rich; Raju’s Hill adds terrace views and a kids’ play area
Healthy Strawberry Farm (near Tanah Rata) is the calm, low-key alternative
Most farms cluster on the Kea Farm / Brinchang strip — easy to pair with the market or BOH tea

Our independent tip

Go first thing on a weekday — by late morning on weekends and holidays the rows are picked over and the car parks jam. If you mainly want to eat strawberries rather than pose for the picking photo, skip the pay-by-weight U-pick and just buy a box at the Kea Farm or Brinchang wet market, which is usually cheaper than the farm shops. Treat the visit as a café-and-photo stop with the kids.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an entry fee for the strawberry farms in Cameron Highlands?

No — entry to the main farms (Big Red, Raju’s Hill, Healthy, Kok Lim, EQ) is free. You only pay if you pick your own, which is charged by weight, typically around RM 25–40 for a 500g box. One source mentions a small entry at Raju’s Hill that includes a punnet, but it’s not consistent, so check at the gate.

When is the best time to pick strawberries in Cameron Highlands?

Go in the morning soon after opening (most farms open around 8:30am) to beat the crowds and have the most fruit left — farms get busy from about 11am–3pm on weekends and school holidays. Berries are sweetest in the drier months; in the rainy season and the July–September low-crop period they can be smaller, more sour, or picking may be limited.

Are the strawberry farms worth visiting?

For families and first-timers, yes — it’s a fun, photogenic stop and the café treats are a highlight, with free entry. But the picking itself is pricey for the small amount you get and can feel like a photo-op more than a real harvest, especially off-season. If you just want to eat strawberries cheaply, buy a box at the nearby wet market instead.
