How it works
|
The Longan Farm is a family farm.
We open to the public so that you can come and pick the longans from the tree yourself. All trees are small so you can pick fruit from the ground – no ladders.
We weigh the fruit that you pick and then charge you based on a set price per kilogram of fruit picked.
