FARMPRENEURS

Everything is 'preneurized' these days - it all started with enterprising individuals looking to leave their nine to five jobs to become restauranteurs, technopreneurs, co-preneurs, eco-preneurs and even mom-preneurs.

It's not surprising that an urbanised city like Singapore has coined the term farmpreneur. Set amidst the backdrop of tall skyscrapers, Kranji Countryside aims to raise public awareness and appreciation for this nature-based-almost-forgotten asset of Singapore. Goats' milk, koi fish, dragon fruits and aeroponics lettuces are some of the unusual finds.

Bike enthusiasts may wish to sign up for countryside rides or take the group tours with any of the farmpreneurs. Those who wish to have a taste of farm fresh produce should not leave the countryside without trying out the cafes that are opened from 8.30am to 6pm.
