If you think that farms are extinct in Singapore, you're wrong! Besides the goat farm and the toad farm, there's also a vegetables farm.
Situated in Lim Chu Kang Agrotechnology Park, near Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserve, it is known as Kin Yan Agrotech Pte Ltd, a company engaged in agro-food related activities in Singapore. They are Singapore's largest commercial organic wheatgrass farm that produces and supplies such crops. Also found within the farm are fresh edible cactus, aloe vera, mushroom as well as roselle fruits (aka ribena). Students will also get to see the various growth stages of wheatgrass (see above) and learn about the health benefits of wheatgrass. The farm also sells interesting wheatgrass products as such wheatgrass herbal jelly. (ps: it tastes good!)
The farm visiting hours are relatively long and flexible so it is actually quite easy to organize a trip there, either during school hours or after school hours. Below are the details!

Address: 220 Neo Tiew Crescent, Singapore 718830
