Mapopo Community Farm

Not far from Fanling Station, Mapopo is a quick and convenient way to introduce the little ones to farming. The farm grows delicious organic fruits and vegetables (including choi sum, cabbage, mint and sweet tomatoes), available for sale at their outdoor market every Wednesday and Sunday. There are also regular tours, farming workshops, soap-making tutorials and talks on subjects such as permaculture (sustainable agriculture systems), mostly in Cantonese. The Lavender Garden is nearby as well, making it easy to hit these two spots in one go.
