Slow Food Farms Tour – Kam Tin, Hong Kong

Earlier this year, Slow Food Hong Kong welcomed its first Slow Food Farms. Here's your chance to visit two of them!

On this tour, we'll be visiting Organic Farmula and R-Farm in Kam Tin. You'll learn first hand from farmers about what it takes to farm regeneratively in Hong Kong, what is farmed, when, and how.

At Organic Farmula, one of Hong Kong's larger regenerative farms (1.65 acres), you might be able to try your hand at composting, mulching and applying bioactive plant nutrients (depending on the farm's needs on the day). After that, we'll head to neighbouring R-Farm, another local regenerative farm that runs a CSA subscription programme.

What is Slow Food Farms?

Aligned with Slow Food’s philosophy that everyone deserves access to nourishing food that supports communities, honors the Earth and strengthens local economies, these farms embody the future of sustainable agriculture.

About Slow Food Hong Kong

Slow Food is a global movement of local groups and activists united by the common goal of ensuring everyone has access to good, clean and fair food. Founded in Italy in 1986, we are now active in more than 160 countries.

Slow Food Hong Kong’s mission is to educate our local community and share information and networks that enable us to make informed choices about our food.

The backbone of this mission is the core value that all people should be able to access and enjoy food that is defined by three interconnected principles: good, clean and fair.

• GOOD: quality, flavorsome and healthy food
• CLEAN: production that does not harm the environment
• FAIR: accessible prices for consumers and fair conditions and pay for producers
