The farm has been owned by the CHONG family since the late 1800s, supporting three generations who have lived and worked here. Many of our neighbors have also called this village home for generations.

Take a moment to unwind by the water at our Pondok, a wooden shelter beside the pond. Surrounded by beautiful Lotus Flowers floating peacefully on the surface, you can watch the graceful Ikan Haruan, Keli, Sepat as well as numerous tortoises swimming beneath the water. If the flowers are in season, we’d be happy to pluck a lotus or two for you to enjoy.
Our farm boasts approximately 20 different types of fruit trees, including Premium Durian varieties such as Musang King, Golden Phoenix, IOI and Black Thorn. Other fruits grown here include Pandan Coconut, Lohan Guavas, Rambutans, Nangka, Cempedak, Ciku, Mangoes, Mangosteens, Longan and Lychee. We even have a single coffee plant on the farm.
Feel free to explore the farm and identify the various trees!
