Photo blog: Crisp green harvest from Organic farm in Penang

The vegetables grown organically are supplied to the Air Itam market

 

This vegetable farm is located near the Air Itam hill and is situated opposite Kek Lok Si temple from the hill view. In short, it is a farm on a hill.

The inconspicuous farm is unnamed and manned by a group of local farmers who are owners of the land, known only as the Lee family living in the vicinity.

The reason the owners secured this land was because they wanted to live near the hill with its fresh air and to be surrounded by greenery. This prompted the farmer to start this relatively new farm..

The vegetables grown organically are supplied to the Air Itam  market.

A lot of vegetables such as kailan, lotus root, cabbage and other greens have been produced here and seems to be of high quality as it is produced without the use of pesticides.

The organic farm is open seven days a week.
