The Farm, Pantai Aceh

The Farm, Pantai Aceh (24 December 2022)


The Farm (GPS: 5.42122, 100.19782) is a tourist attraction in Pantai Aceh, Penang. It comprises an aquaponics farm, a menagerie, a duck pond and a cafe called The Lake Cafe. The menagerie is home to various animals including Indian peafowl (peacocks and peahens), golden pheasants, miniature goats, dwarf rabbits and a cassowary. There are plans to let the birds out of the aviary, so that they can roam freely among the visitors.

The aquaponics farm produces various fresh vegetables, fruits and flowering plants. These include kailan, choy sum, Taiwan pak choy, cos lettuce, red and green amaranth, Chinese kale, green Malabar spinach, arcadia/Chinese cabbage, cabbage, broccoli, Japanese melon, eggplant, strawberry, lady's fingers and cucumber. There is also banana (pisang merah) and papayas.

The vegetables are organically fertilized. To do that, the farm breeds telapia fish. The fish droppings are used as fertilizer for the vegetables. The temperature inside the aquaponics greenhouse is app-controlled.

The duck pond at The Farm is a selfie spot. It has ducks and geese that often swim in the water. It has a number of giant bird nest seats that were imported from Bali. These are installed at scenic points for photography.

The Farm at Pantai Aceh opened to the public at 10:00am on 24 December 2022. My wife and I happened to be their very first paying customers!
