🌱 Manufacturer introduction : Our home-grown organic farm
Wing Hing Wai is located on Nam Hing West Road, Pat Heung, Yuen Long. In the old days it was called "Stone Circle". At the entrance of the village, there is a representative building with a gate engraved with “永慶圍” (Wing Hing Wai) as a sign. In the past, when the British took over the New Territories of Hong Kong, the original residents of the New Territories rebelled against the British. One of the battles was at Shek Wai, against the British army across the river, one of the famous "Six Days of the New Territories". Wing Hing Wai belongs to Kam Tin Upper Village, an indigenous village in Pat Heung, Yuen Long District, Hong Kong.
Wing Hing Wai village farmer Mr. Feng cooperated to revitalise this piece of farmland, use organic farming methods to fertilise it, restore farming, and gradually transform it into an organic farm.
Wing Hing Wai Organic Farm, in line with the mission of transforming the original conventionally cultivated farmland into organically grown farmland, aims to cultivate and revitalise the old conventionally cultivated land, and grow fresh and healthy food with conscience.
In April 2015, Wing Hing Wai Organic Farm applied to the Agriculture and Fisheries Department to join the Organic Farming Support Group. The soil and water quality inspections met the requirements for organic certification and are now applying for organic certification.
