Agriculture
Bollywood Veggies is a distinctive organic farm located in the rustic Kranji countryside of Singapore, founded in 2000 by Ivy Singh and her husband Lim Ho Seng. Spanning 10 acres of land, the farm serves as a sanctuary for sustainable agriculture and ecological preservation within a highly urbanized nation. The name 'Bollywood' was selected to celebrate the founder's Indian heritage and the farm's energetic, welcoming atmosphere. Visitors to the estate can explore a vast collection of tropical crops, medicinal herbs, and indigenous fruits, all cultivated without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides. The on-site 'Poison Ivy Bistro' provides a true farm-to-table dining experience, featuring wholesome local dishes prepared with ingredients harvested daily from the fields. Beyond farming, Bollywood Veggies operates as an educational resource, hosting workshops for schools to promote awareness regarding food security and environmental stewardship. It stands as a lively testament to the viability of community-centric farming in the 21st century, offering a rare glimpse into Singapore's agrarian potential.
