Farms? The agriculture business on the Little Red Dot is non-existent in most people’s minds. Even though farming operations account for less than 1% of our geographical area, Singapore has a diverse range of farms.

Choose any of them for a breath of fresh air, whether you’re searching for a family-friendly weekend activity or an escape from the hustle and bustle of life in the urban jungle.
