Continues from here.
We spent 2 nights in Kluang. Stayed in a nice hotel, Hotel Merdeka, which has been refurbished recently. The family room is extremely spacious and the big beds very comfortable.
Of course when in Kluang, one must go to Kluang Rail Coffee to have breakfast. There are a few Kluang Rail Coffees in Kluang, all under the same company serving similar stuff, but the original one is located right at the Kluang KTM Station.
Honestly, there's really nothing great about the food or drink, but it's something you have to do when you are in Kluang.
Even after spending a full day at Kahang Organic Rice Eco Farm (KOREF) the day before, the girls wanted to go back there for a second visit; since they like farm visits so much, we decided to bring them to UK Farm, which is on the way from Kluang to Ayear Itam toll.
There are different packages for visitors in UK Farm, adults and children pay the same amount. We took 2 x RM30 package and 2 x RM45 package. Both include guided farm tour, but for RM45, a bottle of passion fruit drink, a muffin, an ice cream are given to the guest, but the main reason we chose this package was that it also included animal feeding.
UK Farm is a much bigger farm, we had to ride on a bus to tour the farm with a guide.
1st stop, goat pen. The girls get to feed the goats dried grass provided, and also bottle feed the goat milk.
The goats were quite fussy, the girls discovered that once the (bottle) teat has been sucked or licked by one goat, the others won't touched it any more.
They had a chance to cuddle a baby goat too.
Next we were brought to see goats being milked. The goats with full udders were herded to the milking station, and while being fed, they had their head locked behind bars to prevent them from escaping while being milked. Their udders and teats are sterilised before being attached to pumps goat by goat to milk them. We could see the udders shrinking once the milk has been pumped out.
We were given some goat milk produced in UK Farm to try, hmmm, no one liked it, too errr muttony? If there's such a word.
We met a group of Anqingban (安亲班）kids on a field trip at the next stop. The girls have to wait for their turn to feed the ostriches and turkeys with the feeds that were part of the RM45 farm package.
The animals at UK Farms all look pretty healthy, they must have been well taken care of.
Together with the big group of kids on field trip, we were brought to the Jakun Village next. There's only 1 Orang Asli hired to stationed there, with a couple of houses built to look like an Orang Asli's house, not really a village per say. The Orang Asli did a blow pipe trick to the cheers of the kids, and then we were free to enter the bare "show houses".
On our way to the next stop, the mushroom farm, we saw a herd of sheep in the big grass field, like the picture that attracted most on the UK Farm's website.
We probably missed the sheep herding timing, the tour guide didn't stop for us, but continued to the mushroom farm.
The mushroom farm was the last stop of our guided tour, being close to the main entrance, we were left to explore the rest of the farm on our own.
There's a big wishing tree next to the mushroom farm with a small tree house, the girls fooled around there..
while I took a rest on the hammock.
Walking back to the entrance, we saw healthy looking horses behind horse rail.
There were more horses in the shed near by. The girls, romancing the thought of riding on a horse galloping across the meadow, asked that we let them go on one.
We paid the extra, and they went on the horses, but both claimed it was so boring since the horse they rode on was led on a reign by the horse handler.
The girls were unwilling to go home after the horse ride, so we walked around more, and found not far from the main entrance, away from the horses, was a small enclosure where chickens, guinea fowls, ducks and geese roamed freely. The girls dug out their last packs of animal feed and had a swell time feeding the birds.
Zaria found her equal here, a duck glaring at her asking for seconds.
They had fun chasing after the birds too, making them all excited/scared fluttering about.
Further in the enclosure, Zaria found this little cutie at the side of the pond.
The duckling was joined by mother duck and more ducklings when Zara tried to go near it.
However, with Zaria's agility, she did manage to catch one of the ducklings with her hands. She was quite reluctant to release it after.
UK Farm over all is a very well run farm with healthy animals, their produce here is goats milk and passion fruit juice, but both are not found in Klang Valley.
Both girls had a great time here, and Zaria prefers UK Farm over Kahang Farm (KOREF) because of the animals found here, Zara likes the latter because she enjoyed the rafting so much.

Besides the dishes shown here, we also have a steam Tilapia fish from their pond. Not bad actually for the price we paid. 
I think this hen has been conned into hatching normal eggs as the eggs we found on the dirt pens around were all white in colour, but this particular hen was hatching brown (supermarket?) eggs.
