About
In the first quarter of 2018, the government invited proposal for operating a leisure farm on a vacant land locates at the harbourfront of Kennedy Town. K-Farm, the leisure farm proposal developed by an NGO, ROUGH, was eventually awarded the tenancy right starting from May 2019 for three years. The farm was fully launched for public in two phases, October 2020 and June 2021.
Vision
K-farm aims to promote the idea of 'Farm to Care' to the public:
-
Care for our physical and mental health
-
Care for underprivileged
-
Care for the environment
Our vision is to build sustainable and caring communities by promoting physical and mental wellbeing and social inclusion through series of farming activities in different districts, and to provide an open space for leisure and relaxation.
