The peak durian season is bringing a windfall for orchard owners, thanks to a popular package that allows visitors to enjoy the fruit fresh from the tree. Mizi Agro Farm, located in Kampung Lubuk Batu, Terengganu, is experiencing an 'extraordinary' response to its durian-eating-at-the-orchard offering.

Visitors are flocking to the farm almost daily to savor durians that have just fallen, immersing themselves in the tranquil atmosphere of the orchard.

We offer durian in a bundle for RM50 which contains about seven to eight durians, depending on the size of the fruit.

— Mohd. Tarmizi MamatExplaining the pricing of the durian bundles.

The farm sells durians in bundles for RM50, containing roughly seven to eight fruits depending on size. Visitors are not charged an entrance fee and are encouraged to bring their own mats to relax. Mamat assures that any durian found to be unsatisfactory will be promptly replaced. The orchard is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. during the durian season. In addition to durians, visitors can also enjoy cendol daily, with nasi ikan singgang available on Fridays and Saturdays.

They only need to bring their own mats to relax. If there are any damaged or unsatisfactory durians, we will immediately replace them with fresh fruit.
