Hay Dairies Farm, Singapore Overview

The only goat farm to exist in Singapore since 1988, Hay Dairies is now home to over 800 goats of mixed breed, with their origin heritage from Minnesota in the United States. Not only is the farm one of the leading suppliers of pure goat milk all across Singapore, but it also welcomes visits by individual tourists and families, who are keen to witness the functioning of a farm. For larger groups, the farm also organizes educational tours, and visitors get a firsthand experience of the production of milk.

If you can stomach the strong smell of an animal farm, the Hay Dairies Goat Farm will not be a disappointing trip. Located in a remote area of western Singapore, this farm serves as the perfect spot for one to experience various facets of rearing goats, from milking to feeding to interacting with these adorable creatures. One can also learn the nuances of producing the bottled goat milk found in store outlets across Singapore. As goat milk is a healthy beverage and a good alternative to breast milk, its importance may be better understood during a visit to this unique farm. Alfalfa hay, a GMO-free feed high in proteins, may be purchased for a nominal charge of SGD 5, which children and adults can feed to the goats as they bond with them. Another reason to visit this farm is to indulge in the road trip that leads here, dotted with tall trees and lush greenery devoid of concrete buildings, a rare sight of the gorgeous landscape in an otherwise urbanised Singapore.

How to Reach Hay Dairies Farm

It is ideal to arrive at the Hay Dairies Goat Farm by car, as it is situated outside urban Singapore which could result in limited public transport. One can take the Kranji Way towards Lim Chu Kang or the Jalan Bahar on to Lim Chu Kang road from the Nanyang Technological University, following the road till they arrive at Lim Chu Kang Lane 4. Bus 975 is the only bus that arrives close to the farm, where passengers may alight at the Lim Chu Kang Lane 4 Bus Stop.

Tips

For hygiene reasons, visitors are not allowed to visit any cow farms one month prior to their visit to the Hay Dairies farm.
Try and reach the farm between 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM to see the milking of the goats. This is because milking takes place only once a day, in the early morning; and reaching late would result in the missing the unique experience.
