Singapore's wild wild west (Kranji Countryside)

I received a call from my aunty to say that my uncle is gong to fetch us to Lim Chu Kang to a Goat's Farm. It ended up was a day of farm hopping. My children enjoyed themselves a lot.

We started with Hay Dairies, Goat's farm, followed by Frog farm, Fish Farm and last at Punggol end, Punggol Horse Ranch.

At Kranji Country side you can find Agriculture- vegetables and livestock, Horticulture- ornamentals & orchidsand Fisheries-edible & ornamental. I think it is a very good way to spend your weekends with your family and friends as you can learn and bond together.


Hay Dairies
 Purchase at the farm and home deliveries are available. I saw 3 families buying boxes of it home. They have a large and spacious seating area and we used it to feed our children lunch and also bought two bottles of the fresh goat's milk to drink. I personally find it quite nice and do not mind to drink it again. I also have friends who gave their children and babies goat's milk powder and they have very good comments on the benefits too.

Jurong Frog Farm
They provide guided tour at S$5 and Family tour which you can learn about the life cycle of the frog, feed and take pictures with them. If you are hungry, they also provide frog lunch. My mother in law bought four and we just had them for our dinner on Sunday.

Punggol Ranch
This place was open in Nov 2012. There are many activities that you can enjoy in here. You can arrange for a photoshoot within the Ranch or celebrate birthday party or for a short getaway, a wagon stay. You can also booked BBQ pits and rent bike during your stay. Others such as Stable tours, 'The Horse Way' team building, Joy ride at S$10 per ride and riding lessons are available too. Enrique plucked his courage after much encouragement hopped on the horse. I am glad that he tried and I can tell from his face that he is a little worried but still enjoyed his ride.
