Farm Singapore
If you’re looking for a fun day out with the family, why not visit one of Singapore’s many farms?
There are plenty to choose from, each with its own unique charm and activities.
In this blog post, we’ll take a look at 9 of the best farms in Singapore, complete with information on what to expect when you visit.
So pack your sunscreen and hats, and get ready for a day out in the countryside!
1) Kok Fah Technology Farm
Experience both the old and new ways of agriculture at Kok Fah Technology Farm.
Go old school by sowing seeds under the sun, or try our modern techniques involving the latest technology to improve efficiency and productivity without increasing manpower.
Continue with a guided tour around the farm and learn all about hydroponics, watch an aloe vera demonstration, and add on activities like succulent potting too.
2) Citizen Farm
Citizen Farm is an Edible Garden City initiative, a neighborhood collective and a community of farmers with different systems of growing, all working for the good of the community and beyond.
Celebrating sustainable living in all aspects, it provides local, fresh, and nutritious produce for businesses and individuals and provides employment and income to people who have diverse abilities as well as the socially disadvantaged.
3) Open Farm Community
A farm, a restaurant, a playground, and an event space, Open Farm Community is a rustic space in Dempsey Hill championing local farming and also connecting the community to nature.
While you can tour the grounds and check out the different herbs and plants (and also sculptures), make sure you end the trip at the greenhouse building at the end of the plot which serves as a dining room and open kitchen. The menu and chirpy staff don’t bully you to eat your greens. Housemade pasta, as well as meat and seafood, feature heavily so everyone’s happy!
4) The Sundowner Farm & Lounge
Get a three-in-one rooftop urban farming experience at The Sundowner. Situated along Siglap’s hip restaurant row, this shophouse’s roof has been converted into a farm, complete with streams, herbs, edible plants, beehives, and a cozy lounge area.
The rooftop farm experience package ($95) includes an organic farming masterclass, an up-close-and-personal session with foraging bees, rounded off with some honey tasting, and a ‘sundowner’ – a relaxing drink of beverages infused with herbs from the garden, with the sunset as a backdrop.
5) Hay Dairies
Established in 1988, Hay Dairies keeps about 800 goats of mixed breeds, and all of them get to live like bleating royalty.
That’s because every goat here chews on hay shipped straight from the US, as well as special feed flew in from Australia. Perhaps that’s why Hay Dairies’ goat milk tastes so much better than off-the-shelf brands in your supermarket fridge – we kid you not.
Drop by in the morning to catch the goats being milked (from 9 to 11 am), then bring a few bottles home at the end of the day.
6) Jurong Frog Farm
If you have a fear of frogs, maybe you’d wanna skip this one. Jurong Frog Farm is home to about 10,000 amphibians, the majority of which are American Bullfrogs.
Staffers here are more than happy to show you around and tell you everything there is to know about frogs – entry to the farm is strictly by appointment from Tuesday to Friday, but it opens to walk-ins over the weekend and public holidays. And this might sound a little macabre, but you can even eat these croaking critters.
The farm is known for a Chinese dessert called hashima, made from the dried fatty tissue found near the fallopian tubes of female frogs. Not for the faint-hearted, this one.
7) Quan Fa Organic Farm
Know where your organic veggies come from and take a trip to the Quan Fa Organic Farm. Join a tour where you can see vegetables being harvested and grown, get to touch and also taste them, and also learn about the growing process right through to the farming stage.
With an increasing number of people looking to cut down on their red meat intake, a refreshing trip to the vegetable farm is just what you need.
8) Bollywood Veggies
What began in 2000 as the brainchild of Ivy Singh and her husband Lim Ho Seng has since grown (pun intended) to one of the most beloved farms on the island.
Known for more than just its organic produce, Bollywood Veggies has, over the years, expanded to include a culinary school and a museum.
There’s even a bistro that uses fertilizer- and pesticide-free ingredients harvested from the backyard. It doesn’t get fresher than this.
9) Khai Seng Fish Farm
Had steamed fish at a hawker center recently? Well, there’s a good chance that your grouper came from Khai Seng Fish Farm.
Located in the north-western of Singapore, the 19-year-old fish farm is the only one of its type here to bear the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore’s stamp of approval to operate a retail outlet in its premises.
So aside from checking out how our food is reared, you’ll be able to bring home red tilapia, patin, grass carp, giant snakeheads, and other species that are even fresher than the ones you’ll find at your neighborhood wet market.
Farm Singapore
Singapore is a prime destination for farm enthusiasts and it’s not hard to see why.
The country has an abundance of farms that offer visitors the opportunity to experience what life on a farm entails, from milking goats in the morning to harvesting vegetables at midday.
There are also more unusual options like visiting Jurong Frog Farm or Quan Fa Organic Farm where you can get up close with animals such as frogs and chickens.
Whether you want your kids to learn about how food grows before they eat it or if you just love farm-fresh produce, there’s something for everyone here in Singapore!
