organic farms in lim chu kang



after visiting kok fah technology farm at sungei tengah, i took lay bee and her friends to lim chu kang. the friends wanted to buy organic vegetables. told them i know of three farms that have organic produce and they are aero green, fire flies health farm and ivy singh's bollywood.

found out that aero green is not a true blue organic farm. aero green uses aeroponics specially adapted to the tropics. the farm grows about 500 kg of pesticide-free vegetables a day. (for information: organic farming is farming without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides.) aero green is just opposite the entrance to the sungei buloh wetland. it has a large compound and i have seen bus-load of visitors at the farm. bought some pak choy, chye sim and a pumpkin at aero green.

next, we visited the fire flies health farm at 75 lim chu kang lane 2. it is a large farm and you can see vegetables like spinach, cabbage, radish, long beans and ladies' fingers growing on the farm. this farm uses fermented compose and no pesticide. the compose consists of rock dust, seaweed, molasses, sawdust and beans. we bought vegetables and fruit at this farm. four organic oranges cost $10. the price of the vegetables is 2 or 3 times that of conventional vegetables.

took them to ivy singh's bollywood but we did not go in because it was lunch time and there was a crowd. there was no place to park the car. bollywood is at 100 neo tiew road. its restaurant is called poison ivy. they do not sell a lot of vegetables.
