Morning light slices across the rows of low, ruby fruit as you step onto the cool slopes of Barangay Mayana. The air is sharper here than on Bohol’s coastal plain; strawberry leaves glint with dew and the farm seems to dare you to taste the first sweet bite.

Morning light slices across the rows of low, ruby fruit as you step onto the cool slopes of Barangay Mayana. The air is sharper here than on Bohol’s coastal plain; strawberry leaves glint with dew and the farm seems to dare you to taste the first sweet bite.
The patchwork of smallholder plots in Jagna sits on volcanic soils and higher elevation than most of Bohol’s rice paddies. The island’s Spanish-period ports and a long tradition of mixed subsistence farming shaped these fields: coffee, root crops and now strawberries thrive where temperatures drop a few degrees at night. Local farmers relied on trial, shade netting and organic amendments to coax temperate crops into a tropical landscape.
Expect hands-on berry picking, short walks across gently sloped beds, and a chance to talk with growers about grafting, mulching and pest management. The sensory loop here includes the sound of a light breeze, distant sea smells on some days, and the bright acidity of freshly picked strawberries.
Practical notes: the full tour runs about eight hours including pickup from Tagbilaran or Panglao, so wear closed-toe shoes and sun protection, carry cash for local purchases, and plan travel time on narrow provincial roads. Mornings are best for picking—berries are firmer and sweeter—while afternoons can be warm and sticky. The experience is family-friendly and suitable for most fitness levels, but it’s uneven ground, so steady footwear helps. Leave no litter, respect planted rows, and ask before photographing people at work.
The listed itinerary runs about 8 hours total, including pickup and drop-off within Tagbilaran or Panglao; time on the farm is typically a few hours.
Yes—this is family-friendly. Supervise young children in the fields and have them wear closed-toe shoes.
