Agricultural farms

It is the largest Agricultural Farms situated in the north-western part of Singapore, which occupies 858 hectares and about 16 times the size of the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Fruits, vegetables, ornamental plants, rearing fish and goats can be seen growing in this farm. Some farmers in this area enjoy showcasing their farms to visitors and have come together to form an association called Kranji Countryside to raise public awareness and appreciation for this nature-based asset of Singapore.
