In 2005, a group of farm-preneurs across agricultural industries came together to form the Kranji Countryside Association (KCA) Singapore, a non-profit group that promotes local agriculture and food production, eco and agro-tourism, education recreation and conservation. It has not only drawn Singaporeans and visitors back out to appreciate their own forgotten countryside, but also raised considerable awareness of a local food movement and the history and heritage of the Kranji farming area.
KCA introduced the concept of ‘Agritainment’ into the Kranji countryside and many farms are open to the public for touring. Below are some of the farms and sites you can visit in Kranji Countryside.
