Urban Farming And Prawning At Utama Farm, Kuala Lumpur

Founded by Tony Yong and Emil Jihad, this urban farming venture is located in the heart of Bandar Utama. Originally 1.6 acres of fertile ground that was used for managing rainwater, the patch of land has now transformed into a thriving green oasis with fishponds and pesticide-free veggies using hydroponic NFT technology, aquaponic systems, and good old-fashioned soil-based farming. Some of the greens grown here include Romaine, Butter Head, and a bunch of local favorites like Siew Bak Choy, Choi Sam, and Kailan. Utama Farm is all about promoting sustainable farming and clean eating, in fact, there are fishes and prawns here that you can catch and dine as there’s a steamboat restaurant on site for delicious seafood hotpot dinners, with some of the ingredients sourced from the farm itself.
