The guys behind UK Farm started out in 2003 with 2 acres of land located in Parit Yaani, Johor as a goat farm. Jamnapari goats were imported from Indonesia and the business involved the production of fresh goat’s milk and goat’s meat.
Subsequently in 2007, they obtained 100 acres worth of land from the Kluang Modern Agriculture Project. This allowed them to venture into sheep breeding and start the production of frozen sheep’s meat. Their sheep species now include Domba Garut, Damara, Barbados, Santa Ines, Malin and Dorper sheep.
In 2008 they diversified their business into leisure farm tours in the year of 2008 and launched the UK Agro Resort in 2010. Aiming to provide visitors with an authentic and memorable farm experience, the UK Farm also offers a wide range of facilities that cater to various needs such as a restaurant, farm market, conference room, chalets, dormitory, barbeque area and camp site.

In this modern day and age, where urban children do not know what a chicken is, other than as a drumstick in a KFC meal, visiting a agro-farm like this U.K. Farm can be an enlightening and educational experience.
Although U.K. Farm seems more set up as a tourism experience rather than an actual working farm, a visit is still worthwhile.
