Visit to GK Organic Farm 6 Apr 2011

Visit to an Organic Farm actually is one of the guided educational trip organized by Tadika Brainchild as their annual trip.

The difference this year is only previously only Daddy accompanied Issac for the trip, whereby this year Annabelle already 4 years old and she is allowed to join the trip.

Thus, Daddy accompanied Issac and Mummy accompanied Annabelle this year. We all were allocated in the different bus. Total there were 2 buses together.

We assembled at the school at as early as 8:00am. All the kids were wearing their school T-shirts and pants. Of course, as usual there were kids who were late due to the parents cannot send to the school early on time.

Then, we took off around 8:30am towards to Bangi. It was quite a far journey on the bus itself. There were games, singings and cartoons going on inside the bus.

After we came out from the Toll, we were entering the more winding roads towards the farm surrounded by the oil palm plantations in the Kampung Sungai Buah. The buses just stopped at the entrance of the road. We walked down and start to walk to the farm itself.

Once we entered to the farm, the first thing caught our eyes is the compost. Then, we came to know the owner of the farm, Mr. Gan himself, we were given a briefing on what is organic and save or love our environment, then we had been took for a farm walk with our bare foot!

Yes! bare foot. It was not really comfortable in the very beginning but after sometimes then we will get use to it. Of course, not every child are get use to it, and Annabelle is one of them. End up, Mummy have to carry her all the way.

We were been introduce what is the shapes of vegetable of Sawi, Long beans, siau pak choi, brinjal, lady fingers, and so much more, including the fruit trees as well.

All of the vegetables are without pesticides and using man hours and labor to grow it.

At the end of the farm, we came to an empty land where we are ask to harvest sweet potatoes which we can take back home.

Our farm tour ended and gathered back to the open hall. All the teachers and children were sweating and tiring. Then, we had been introduced to the enzyme making demo. It is not really difficult to do the homemade enzyme!

Then, around 12.30pm we had our full organic buffet lunch. Mummy will never think of the vegetarian or organic food can do such a lovely aroma and taste. It is so refreshing! All of us go at least for 2nd round for the buffet.

Later, some of the parents and teachers were had the chance to shop in GK’s homemade organic products, fresh vegetables and fruits.

We left around 1:30pm and reached school around 2:30pm, nearly 3:00pm. During our journey back, all the children were so tired and most of them fall asleep in the bus.

This is actually a quite an experience for both Issac and Annabelle, as they are considered city boy and girl.

Bare foot walking, in fact Issac had more experienced on that, because Mummy had carried Annabelle all the way, in the end, Mummy was more tiring than Belle.
