We went to an organic farm near Kluang during the 1 week school holidays in March. Since it is only about 1.5 hours drive away The weather that day was cool and there were slight rain, it is a great day to be at the farm.
One of the money crop in the farm was the dragon fruit. Since it belongs to the cactus family, it needs very little water to survive.
We also went into the mushroom dark room, where it is very humid and damp, just the way the mushrooms liked it.
There also some cows at the farm for visitor to see and feel. They are all very well kept and maintained.
The children also liked to feed the little birds in the farm (forgot the name of the species).
There was a fish pond near the plant nursery just beside the lobby. The children were given nets to try and scoop for the small fish in the water.
It was not easy to net the fish! They were all very small and they swam very fast!
DH was standing precariously near the edge of the water. The water was a bit too low for him, as long as the fish stayed at the bottom of the pond, they were safe from his net.
After a fanstastic organic lunch at the farm, we went for the famous Kluang coffee at the edge of town about 5 mins drive from the farm towards the town center.
DH did not eat much during the tea break but he did enjoy the butter toast with his cousins.
