Green Acres Orchard is a 16-acre chemical-free fruit farm, with over 500 tropical fruit trees, including heirloom species of fruits which were planted more than 50 years ago. Its wide variety of tropical fruits include pineapples, cikus, jackfruits, papayas, calamansi lime, cocoa, mangosteens, rambutan, cempedak, longans, pomelos and durians.
We are happy to be one of the few remaining farms in Penang with thriving clove and nutmeg trees. Cloves are hand picked, cleaned and sun-dried for high quality aromatic cloves. Nutmegs are harvested to make jams, preserves and tea infusions while its seeds are sun-dried for nutmeg spice.
As a chemical free farm that has been organically maintained, pesticide free for the last 70 years since it was farmed, wild herbs and wild edible flowers flourish in abundance, with some being local endemic species. A walking tour at Green Acres takes you a step back to memory lane reconnecting with our taste buds. How does old fashioned farm produced real food compare? You tell us!
