Fitrah Farm visit by
Plant-Based Cuisine students

During our visit to Fitrah Farm, our students were immersed in a truly unique and hands-on agricultural experience. Stepping onto the paddy fields to aid in the growth process was both exhilarating and enlightening. Feeling the cool mud beneath their feet and witnessing firsthand how this traditional farming method contributes to the cultivation of rice filled them with a sense of connection to the land and its bounty.


The composition process was another highlight of the day, as students actively participated in creating the rich soil mixtures essential for plant growth. Getting their hands dirty while learning about the importance of nutrient-rich soil and composting techniques added a practical dimension to their understanding of sustainable agriculture. This hands-on activity not only deepened their appreciation for the intricacies of farming but also empowered them with valuable skills they can apply in their own gardening endeavors.


Feeding the chickens and planting their own greenery further enriched the experience, as students eagerly embraced the opportunity to interact with farm animals and nurture their own plants. The joy and excitement were palpable as they witnessed the fruits of their labor taking root and contributing to the vibrant ecosystem of the farm. Overall, the visit to Fitrah Farm was not only enjoyable but also highly educational, offering our students a memorable glimpse into the world of agriculture and sustainable living.
