“Agri enJoy” Scheme

Introduction

The scheme aims at facilitating the development of agriculture-related ancillary activities by farms engaged in commercial crop production*, so as to enhance farmers’ income, promote their agricultural products, as well as provide visitors with meaningful and enjoyable farming experiences.  Under the scheme, the following agriculture-related ancillary activities are endorsed by the Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation:-

• provision of "pick-your-own crops" activity;
• on-farm sale of self-grown crops;
• preparation of light meals with self-grown crops and non-flame cooking; and
• provision of on-farm activities (such as guided tours, farming experiences or workshops) which aim at promoting self-grown agricultural products or farming education.

* Note 1：The scheme is not applicable to farms which mainly offers recreational activities and/or facilities.
