A tour costs $4 per person with a minimum of eight persons, and includes a bottle of lettuce juice or a bowl of Fresh Single Serve Salad (while stocks last). Daily: 9am-5pm.
Convincing your child to eat his veggies may or may not be easier after this, but at least he'll have a better understanding of high-tech aeroponics farming after a visit to Aero-Green Technology. Here, vegetables are grown without soil - their roots are suspended in the air and sprayed with a nutrient-rich mist. The one-hour tour includes a short video screening, followed by a walkabout to the greenhouse and around the 5.3-hectare farm to learn how plants like gourd, dill, tomato and watermelon are grown. Your kids will learn to identify vegetables, herbs and fruits by sight, touch and smell. You can also try their ready-to-eat salads and lettuce juice.
