The story begins.... 故事开始。。。。
It was a fine sunny day where we decided to go for a small trip to KF Farm. The farm is around 40 minutes journey from Ulu Tiram. After we reach the gathering place, we were given a warm welcome by KF staff and we were brought inside the farm with a jeep. It was a wonderful experience as we can feel the nature, clean air and we also saw monkeys as we drive into the farm. It took around 15 to 20 minutes before we reach KF farm.
KF has its very own farm that comprises 70 acres of land tucked away 25km from the urban city of Johor Bahru.
