Cameron Highlands - Farm Ville

Farm Visit

Right after our half-day guided tour of BOH plantation, Gunang Brinchang, and Mossy Forest in the morning, we took another half-day guided tour in the afternoon.
This time to visit the farms in Cameron Highlands - another Cameron Highlands icon - and finally ending the tour with a hotpot dinner (one more thing that Cameron Highlands is famous for).


Vegetable Farm

We began the tour with a visit to a typical, small family-owned farm.





Cauliflower does really look like a flower when covered with leaves!

Chinese Farm

This Chinese-style farm is huge and (I think) collectively ran by the village. One defining characteristic of this farm is the bunded fields used to grow watercress.

Strawberry Farm

For a fee (can't recall the price), visitors are allowed to pluck strawberries for themselves. 
In fact, entry inside is allowed only for visitors who paid for this right. Since we were not keen, we went to the cafe upstairs instead, haha. 

Anyway, pics taken at the "holding area" before the entrance.
