Hydroponics Farm Tour @ Oh Farms

Auntie KY kindly coordinated a Hydroponics Farm Tour to Oh Farms, a supplier of local fresh vegetables to NTUC and Cold Storage [http://www.ohfarms.com.sg/].

An eye-opening experience; the guide Tony shared with us many interesting tips on herbs and spices before the start of the tour. An interesting mention is the Miracle Fruit, a fruit that confuse ones’ taste buds. After eating it, things that are sour would taste sweet.

We toured around the nutrients center, germination room, plant nursery, packing centre etc. Kids were also introduced to the idea of eating Kang Kong uncooked, and were surprised that it tasted nice.

PS:

At the end of the tour, armed with a starter kit, and a seedling fresh from the germination room, Princess Chelsea was ready to start her home garden project with Daddy Tiong.

Our next possible trip is a tour of the Herbs and Spice Garden there.
