2. Mingle Farm
Inject a little quirkiness into your next staycation and glamp in Yuen Long in an aecosphere — a transparent bubble-shaped tent — and fall asleep under the stars. Take it a step further and stay overnight in one of Mingle Farm’s inflatable mushroom tents or rainbow-coloured houses if you’ve a group looking for a wacky sleepover. If you’re more of a traditionalist, caravan camping is also available and comes fully equipped with AC, toilet and television
3. Yi O
When it comes to rice, we tend to think of Thai jasmine rice or Japonica rice from Japan. But did you know Hong Kong produces its own rice too? Yi O farm is a community project founded in 2012, and is located in the northwest area on Lantau Island. The farm harvests mostly rice, amongst other fresh produce.
4. Zen Organic Farm
The best part about visiting any farm is that you’re basically given free rein to pick and snack on various super-fresh fruits and vegetables. This organic farm in Ta Ku Ling uses innovative greenhouse technology and techniques to grow a wonderful variety of European produce, including green tomatoes, black cherries, lettuce, strawberries and figs. Seriously, they all look good enough to eat. It’s no wonder that even five-star hotels source their ingredients from this farm.
