Feng Bing is proud of the greenhouse, where corn is planted next to cherry tomatoes. |
The soy juice is left to cool down and thicken for another 15 minutes. After that, she and a coworker pour the bean curd onto a layer of gauze, and press it into a large cake shape on an iron shelf.
The whole process, if they don't stop in the middle, takes three and a half hours.
If you are planning a day trip to Beijing's outskirts, Noah Organic Farm offers a chance to learn about the whole organic growing process, and get a taste of organic vegetables. The farm has a children's playground. In summer it is a nice spot for an outdoor BBQ. The nearby village has a corn labyrinth one can take children to play in.
If traffic is good it takes an hour and a half to get to the farm from Beijing.
