A place where one can sample mouth-watering, sun-ripened, freshly picked out aromatic fruits, the Tropical Fruit Farm is located on the mountainous terrain of Teluk Bahang in Penang. The progressing operation of the farm is mainly focussing on the furtherance of the region’s agricultural tourism. Nurturing over 140 types of both tropical and subtropical trees of fruit, ranging from exotic to local specimens, the farm allows its visitors to sample many types of fruits here whilst providing special tours of the plantation for the nature lover.

Covering over 25 acres of land, the orchard was created back in the early 1990’s with the objective of conserving the exotic and rare fruit trees. Playing a significant role in supporting agriculture and agro/eco tourism amid the intensive development that was taking place in the region was also part of the agenda.

Tantalising the visitors’ taste buds, the orchard offers freshly prepared fruit juices, snacks and on weekends and public holidays, a hefty BBQ buffet. Over the years, the farm has acquired numerous exotic fruit trees from far-off corners of the world such as South and Central America, India, Central Africa, the Pacific Islands, the Caribbean and the Middle East.
