Parent-Child Farming Fun Farm Weekend Tour Organic Farming Experience

We all need a break from our fast-paced lives now and then and many Hong Kong people have discovered the joys of being weekend farmers. For those who want to explore urban farming, try visiting the site at Tsing Yi. Proceeds are shared to help people in need. The Federation also hosted a charity event at the urban farm’s rooftop terrace garden. The aim was to build on everyone’s understanding of organic farming and proceeds were donated to the HKFYG Organic Farm for educational purposes.
