Kranji is the part of Singapore with farms, so this route spends a weekend morning on them. It starts at the war cemetery by the MRT station, moves on to a goat dairy and a farm lunch, and ends in two wetlands.
Go on a Saturday or Sunday, when Bollywood Veggies opens at 7am and Kok Fah Technology Farm takes walk-ins. The farms are spread out, so plan on taxis between them, and bring water and a hat.
