"Run by a husband-and-wife team and inspired in part by one founder’s Indian heritage, this four-hectare organic farm grows produce without chemical fertilizers, pesticides or growth hormones and has expanded to include a culinary school and a food museum with 24 oil paintings that trace food’s relationship with people. A variety of hands-on activities suit different ages—potting sessions, treasure hunts, a scarecrow challenge and culinary classes (including healthy cooking and Peranakan dishes)—while basic farm tours teach sustainable farming methods. Guests can dine at the on-site restaurant, Poison Ivy Bistro, which uses farm produce to make dishes such as nasi lemak and laksa, and finish with the farm’s home-brewed fig tea. The farm and bistro are open Wednesday to Sunday and on public holidays." - Loh Yun Jin
