From fruit farmer to homestay operator


The farm offers guided tours, complete with photo cards and modified pick-up truck rides for guests to go into Tang’s fruit farm.

It all began innocently enough with customers who stopped by Tang’s shop, asking whether they could visit the farm they were buying fruits from.
