The Experience

A visit to Rumah Stroberi can be experienced as more than a conventional stay or restaurant visit. At the heart of the property is its organic strawberry farm, which covers approximately 4,000 m² and is home to around 30,000 strawberry plants. The farm has been maintained since 2003, with the property describing it as an all-year strawberry-growing destination.

Visitors can participate in strawberry picking, while selected experiences allow guests to go further by planting or adopting a strawberry plant. These activities create an opportunity, particularly for children, to understand where food comes from and how plants are grown.

The agricultural experience extends beyond strawberries. Rumah Stroberi's Taman Pangan includes other garden crops such as cherry tomatoes, lettuce and organic vegetables, allowing visitors to encounter a wider picture of food cultivation in the highlands. For those staying overnight, the experience is complemented by accommodation inspired by Indonesian architectural and decorative elements, as well as dining within the property.

Sustainability Lens

1. Environmental - Organic Agriculture

Agriculture is not an ornamental element added to the resort. it is one of Rumah Stroberi's defining features. The property has cultivated strawberries organically since 2003 and continues to operate its strawberry farm as part of the visitor experience. Beyond strawberries, its garden also produces vegetables including cherry tomatoes and lettuce.

This creates a direct connection between visitors and the agricultural processes behind the food they consume. For Harvest & Heritage, this is particularly relevant because it demonstrates how a tourism property can use working agriculture as an educational and experiential asset, rather than separating accommodation from the landscape that produces food.

2. Food & Agricultural Heritage

The restaurant serves Indonesian and international dishes, including its signature Nasi Liwet, traditionally served with chicken, tofu, tempeh and organic vegetables harvested directly from the garden. The property also describes its dining experience as incorporating fresh produce from its organic farm into selected meals. 

3. Learning & Nature Connection

Activities such as strawberry picking, planting strawberries, cherry tomato harvesting and vegetable harvesting allow visitors to engage directly with food production. The property specifically positions its planting activities as a way for children to learn responsibility and develop a greater appreciation for the food they eat.

Reflection

For Harvest & Heritage, this makes Rumah Stroberi an interesting example of agricultural tourism in the Lembang highlands—where farming is not separated from hospitality, but becomes part of the reason to visit. The experience may be particularly meaningful for families and urban visitors who rarely have the opportunity to see how food is grown, In a rapidly changing highland landscape, destinations such as Rumah Stroberi can help keep the relationship between people, food and agriculture visible.
