Over here, guests can look forward to immersing themselves in nature and savouring delicious organic food. Life can be challenging at times. From tough projects at work to pressing family commitments, it can be easy to put self-care on the back burner. However, taking a short break every now and then can be hugely beneficial to your physical and mental wellbeing.
If you’re looking for an idyllic spot for a respite, how about taking a trip to Titi Eco Farm? Spanning over 40 acres, this lush farmland is located in the Jelebu district of Negeri Sembilan.
Here, the air is fresh and clean, and the singing of birds can be heard at all hours of the day. Stunning mountains are discernible in the background, and it is a refreshing change of scenery from the tall buildings that dot a city’s skyline.
During a recent visit, FMT Lifestyle spoke with husband-and-wife team, Lim Chih Lun and Chensy Chan, who are the director and general manager of Titi Eco Farm, respectively.
According to Chan, Titi Eco Farm is an integrated farm, consisting of an organic farm, food processing factory and eco-resort.
“When guests come, the main thing is for them to experience the food here. The second is to experience the quietness. It’s a good chance for them to get away from their busy schedules and just slow down,” Chan, 39, said.
As such, they offer a two-day and one-night “farmcation” package on the weekends, where guests check in on Saturday and check-out the following day.
The package, Chan revealed, includes “organic farm-to-table vegan plant-based meals” for afternoon tea, dinner, a light supper, and a breakfast buffet the following day.
“Most of the items in the breakfast buffet are made from scratch, including the dipping sauces, as we want to serve all-natural food and to avoid preservatives as well as chemically formulated processed food,” Chan said.
Among the highlights are buckwheat porridge served with various side dishes – preserved radish; baked sweet potato sprinkled with bamboo salt and pumpkin onde-onde.
Additionally, guests are treated to a guided tour of the organic farm during their stay. Taking the FMT Lifestyle team on a personal tour, Lim, 39, pointed out the different vegetables and fruits cultivated here.
These are mainly lowland crops such as choy sum, water spinach, cabbage, long beans, papaya, banana and even durian – all grown without the use of ripening agents or pesticides.
The produce, Lim added, is supplied wholesale mainly to organic shops in the Klang Valley.
