Ivy Singh-Lim and Lim Ho Seng started Bollywood Veggies in 2000 on ten acres in Kranji, in what is left of Singapore's farmland, growing bananas, papaya, herbs and vegetables and running a bistro that cooks what it grows. It functions partly as an argument: that Singapore should grow more of its own food and that people should know where it comes from, and school groups come through constantly. A small food museum sits on the site.

What you actually see

  • The working plots - bananas, papaya, herbs and vegetables grown on ten acres.
  • The bistro - a kitchen cooking what the farm produces, known for its banana cake.
  • The food museum - a small display on food, farming and Singapore's supply.
  • The Kranji countryside - the last farming district on the island.

When to go

Year round; the farm closes on Mondays and Tuesdays. Weekends are busy at the bistro and booking helps. Mornings are coolest for walking the plots.

Honest expectations

Public transport out to Kranji is poor and infrequent. The farm is small and the visit is largely walking plots and eating. The bistro queues at weekends.

Nearby

Kranji Marshes is nearby, and Sungei Buloh is north.
