Agriculture
Hay Dairies is Singapore's only operational goat farm, established in 1988 by the Hay family. Located in the Lim Chu Kang agrotechnology park, it houses over 800 goats, primarily of the Alpine breed from the United States. The farm transitioned from pig farming to goat farming due to government agricultural restructuring policies in the late 1980s. Visitors can observe the automated milking process every morning between 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM. The milk is pasteurized and bottled on-site without any added preservatives or hormones, distributed to local supermarkets and available for direct purchase at the farm. Hay Dairies adheres to strict animal welfare and hygiene standards, providing a nutritious alternative to cow's milk. It serves as an important educational site for understanding local food production and sustainable farming practices in a land-scarce nation.
