Growing a relationship with food

Cynthia Chua, Founder of Spa Esprit Group, on the website of Open Farm Community : “Our vision is to bring to life, the impact of urban farming in Singapore, and in doing so, strengthen our understanding and respect for food and its origins. Our children, in particular, have been too segregated from nature. OFC is an ideological and physical reaction to this. We want to provide a platform where families can come together and explore the many facets of food together through art, tours of the vegetable and fruit orchards, talks, gardening workshops, and of course, eating. Their layered experiences will also strengthen inter-generational relationships through quality time spent together.”

Open Farm Community (OFC) is Singapore’s pioneering urban farm and restaurant concept; a timely reaction to the increasing disconnect between people and their food. Acting as the missing link in the modern fabric, OFC’s vision is to strengthen the understanding and respect for food and its origins. Showcasing local and regional produce like never before, our team aspires to elevate the produce of our land with an international lens.
