Nestled in the lush landscapes of Tambun, Ipoh, the Tambun Musk Melon Agro Farm stands as Malaysia’s largest Japanese musk melon plantation.Established in 2023, this farm has meticulously tested over 20 melon varieties to identify three premium types that thrive in Tambun’s unique climate and limestone-rich soil. Utilizing organic pesticides, the farm ensures that each melon produced is of the highest quality, offering a taste experience that is both authentic and refreshing.
Visitors to the farm can enjoy complimentary entry and have the opportunity to embark on guided tours led by the knowledgeable owner, Steven. These tours provide insights into the entire cultivation process, from seed selection to the meticulous hand - pollination of flowers - a necessary step due to the enclosed greenhouse environment.Interestingly, each plant is cultivated to bear only one fruit, allowing it to channel all its nutrients into producing a melon of exceptional sweetness and aroma.
