“F” – Farm in the City

Modern Singapore is a City state – a big gleaming concrete jungle. Farms and plantations are alien words to our children. “Orchard” is a road name, not a place to pick durians or pluck mangosteens. Our little owlets are encouraged to understand and appreciate our food. Milk does not originate from paper cartons, chicken have feathers and fish are not square and sandwiched between 2 pieces of bread. We aim to create awareness on how our daily food is cultivated/farmed, letting children understand how precious our food sources are and let them understand and appreciate our daily sustenance. Hands on sessions allow our children to “get their hands dirty” and be more in touch with our environment. They will understand the time and effort needed to cultivate our food sources. Children are also encouraged to visit places of agriculture to gain exposure and understanding of our food chain.
