Recently, me and ma boy were invited to Quan Fa Organic Farm for a farm tour to know more about organic farming! It's our first time visiting an organic farm here in Singapore so let's check it out together!
Firstly, a little background about Quan Fa, they are a family-owned business since 1999 and they follow the ecological agrarian methods of farming whereby no harmful pesticides or fertilizers are being used. In addition, they are also one of the leading distributors of organic vegetables in Singapore and the vegetables grown at Quan Fa are harvested and packed every single morning to ensure their freshness when they reach the stores.
The farm is basically divided into 4 main areas: Sprouts, Open Area, Compost and Green Houses!
We visited the Sprouts area first whereby we were shown sunflower sprouts which are commonly used in salad!
We got to try some radish sprouts fresh as well and it tastes like wasabi to me hahahaha.
Yes, one thing to share is that a farm tour is definitely a very good place for kids and family to hang out with because they are so excited at everything whereas I just get tired easily from basking in the sun for that 45 minutes. (Yes remember to apply lots of sun screen when you come here)
Sigh old liao but it's okay. Life goes on! HWAITING! :)
Next up is the Open Area where we are greeted by vast green-ness!!
One thing that really caught our attention is this yellow color tape which is used to trick the insects to think that it is a flower / vegetables / food and trap them! That way no pesticides would be required! It's really a very interesting idea which I've never encountered before!
Next stop is the Compost Area where heaps of fertilizers are at and surprisingly they don't smell as bad as the fertilizers I encounter at other farms!
The last stop are the Green Houses where conditions of the crops can be better controlled as compared to the crops in the Open Area!
After the tour, we were served some refreshments and I love this chilled lemongrass minty drink! So refreshing!
If you're interested to bring your kids here for a farm tour, Quan Fa conducts a tour with minimum 20 pax for 45 minutes and they have 3 different packages available for farm tours which you can check it out here for more details: Farm Tour
