this is not the first time i am blogging about this place. in fact, it is my third time. it is the kok fah technology farm, a farm that grows leafy vegetables under protective netting. however, it is more than a farm. on weekends, it gets a lot of visitors, who come in busloads, and regulars who go there to buy fresh fruit, fresh vegetables and other grocery items.
what i like about this place is the freedom it accords its visitors. you are free - yes, at no charge - to move around the place so long as you do not go and trample on the vegetables and the vegetable plots. there are quite a lot of things to see - vegetables, guava trees, enormous gourds, huge aloe vera, dragon fruit and longan trees.
then, there are those things that are not connected with vegetable farming on display, like the arapaima - the largest freshwater fish, the dragon fish, carps, rabbits, a talking hill myna, parakeets and a bulbul.
they also sell potted plants on the farm. you can also get certain items that you normally do not find in the supermarkets, like the bamboo shoots and 'black sugar-cane'. at the vegetable section, they also sell freshly cut aloe vera.
